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.

What Families Say
“It was my first time doing a funeral and having to arrange for everything. I have to say that they were very helpful and helped us through the process. I originally spoke to Karl over the phone and explained to me the process and how the Sikh funerals work and cost estimate. Kim worked with our family upstairs while we sorted out details. After my grandmother passed away I called them and we were arranging the funeral. They spent the time needed and walked us through the process. Also before viewing we were able to do touch up’s to grandmas makeup. They have hair products, makeup, pins and all. Again I met Karl Marlatt who was absolutely wonderful. Only issue I had was with the slideshow which didn’t work for us. The live video did end up getting set up and the family was able to see from afar. Again I highly recommend this funeral home and they are caring and understanding at your time of need. Thanks again guys!”

“I only have positive and amazing things to say about my experience at Marlatt Funeral Home. My family and I were lucky enough to work with Melissa who was patient and great to work with from start to finish. She helped answer all our questions leading up to the date. Our friends and family said the entire service was beautiful. We were also able to live stream the event which was really special for our out-of-state family. Marlatt has great pricing and even better staff. You can tell that they really care about the people they work with. I will always be grateful that they helped give my mom the celebration she deserved.”
