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
“The loss of a loved one can be the most devastating feeling most of us will ever experience. I have been fortunate over the years to have the Progress Funeral Parlor provide immediate comfort and guidance when I lost my mother. Progressive Funeral Homes has been handling my family's mortuary needs for well over 50 years. The family atmosphere gave me the biggest hug when I needed to feel at ease and support my family. Thank you, Denise and staff, for your professionalism, expert service, and responsiveness. Progressive Funeral Parlor is a South Side GEM and I am forever grateful for your services you provide!!”

“This is the best funeral home I have ever been to in my life. The place is so nice and clean and the staff are amazing. They genuinely care about giving your loved one the best going home celebration they possibly can. They are a place of integrity, ethics, and they choose quality over quantity. They made sure that my grand mother looked at her best and that she was proper laid to rest. I can never repay them for being the amazing, caring people that they have been to my family and I. Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart”
— Shovonna Scott
“Back in 2010 when my mother passed, my father picked Progressive Funeral Parlor to do the service. They did a nice job, so my father wanted to use them when he passed. This June my father passed and I honored his wishes. The staff was so accommodating, compassionate and gentle with me during this process. They made sure to always answered when I called with any questions and everything that I wanted for my dad's service they made sure to make it happen. They even presented me with a lovely throw blanket with my father's picture on it. Unfortunately, on September 15th I needed someone for my sister. I didn't even think twice about calling Progressive, I knew that I was going to get the best service. Jasmine has been amazing walking me through both passing's and I really appreciate her kindness and thoughtfulness.”
