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.

“First and foremost, I would like to say thank you to Greg and Christina Dale at Artful Ashes. They did amazing job with my mom‘s ashes. I finally had the heart to do something with them after four years and it turned down amazing. They are amazing people. They actually took time off of their busy schedule to show me the process of how they were making this lovely piece of my mom‘s ashes. I am absolutely in love with it thank you guys again so much and I added a picture of her and I to show that she was a beautiful woman when she was alive and even still beautiful with what you did with her ashes. Thanks you so much again.”

“Received our Ohio State Buckeye glass memorial of our loved one this weekend. The colors, the artistry, the football underneath all added such a personal touch. It was packaged so well and the lighted base is beautiful. We set it on the table in our front room where we can see it every day. So beautiful and a perfect way to honor his dad. The entire process from the messages and phone calls, color selection, receiving and sending the kit, the communication and end product exceeded all expectations I am so grateful to you for making this happen💜”
