Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.
If they had life insurance, it can cover this
If your loved one had a life insurance policy, the benefit can cover these costs — and we'll file the claim and handle the carrier for you, even without the policy number. $0 upfront, and nothing if it doesn't pay out.

What Families Say
“A big thank you goes out to Hetherington & Deans for taking care of both my mom and dad's cremation and funeral services. Words like professional, compassionate, empathetic, understanding and accommodating come to mind. First class service in all areas especially for the little things that are often forgotten when trying to deal with the loss of a loved one. A very special thank you to Holly who was a tremendous help. Holly made the entire process so much easier to deal with. She has a heart of gold, a very engaging personality, felt like she was part of the family, especially with the recent passing of my dad. On behalf of the Cournoyea family, we have appreciated everything you have done! Without hesitation, we give Hetherington and Deans 5/5 stars.”

“I highly recommend using this funeral home. This was my 2nd unfortunately using their service. Extremely caring and helpful, definitely went above and beyond this time for me, was saying goodbye to my mother. They made me feel, like she was super important to them and also made the process easy, considering I did it alone. Jennifer in reception remembered me everytime I called and who, I was dealing with. Mandie was extraordinary, I use humour to deal with difficult situations and she appropriately laughed but also made sure everything was handled with care. She helped me so much. Also I could tell that her sincerity for my loss was genuine. She gave my son a adorable stuffed animal which, I absolutely love. 1st using the service was also top notch, I remember the funeral home, accommodating all of my requests, which were unique to the situation. Highly recommended.”
