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.

“Amanda at St. Fort Funeral & Cremation Service is simply incredible. My family experienced the sudden loss of an extended family member who was visiting from abroad, and I had no idea where to begin with making cremation arrangements. While other services were unresponsive—or didn’t return calls at all—Amanda immediately shared her cell phone number and said, “Call me, I’m happy to help, even if you don’t go with our service.” That level of kindness and openness was a huge relief during such a difficult time. Throughout the entire process, Amanda was knowledgeable, pleasant, helpful, and deeply empathetic. We received excellent service and care, and we are truly grateful for everything she facilitated for us. I highly recommend St. Fort Funeral & Cremation Service. Amanda made a very hard time much more manageable, and we will never forget her support.”
