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
“Ryan McMillan from Devol Funeral Home was absolutely remarkable with the care he took from my father's death to the funeral service that we conducted at the Devol Funeral Home. In our time of grief he and his employees were respectful and caring at all times. He was an excellent communicator and made every detail of the process crystal clear along the way. It was a really good experience given the sad circumstances. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was very accommodating when working with my daughter to produce materials and videos for the day of the funeral service. Kim Richmond.”

“My family and I are very grateful to DeVol Funeral Home. My father recently passed away, and DeVol took care of every detail — from the viewing to coordinating with the church and cemetery — to ensure that my father's service was handled smoothly and with great care. We are filled with deep sadness after losing my father, and planning his funeral was not easy for us. DeVol made the entire process simple, clear, and exceptionally well-organized. Their guidance gave us peace of mind during one of the hardest moments of our lives. A special thank-you to the funeral director, Natalie Smirnoff, for her professional, compassionate, and patient approach. Losing a loved one is incredibly difficult, and my father’s passing devastated our family. Natalie was kind, caring, and deeply respectful of our family’s wishes. She was thoughtful, honest, and communicated with excellence throughout the entire planning process and on the day of the service. We are truly thankful to have found DeVol Funeral Home and to have had the support of Natalie Smirnoff. Because of them, we were able to give my father a final farewell filled with love, dignity, and a sense of calm we could not have achieved on our own.”

“DeVol was there for us from the beginning and even after the burial. They were very professional and answered all questions (even questions we didn't know to ask). Because of their expertise, we didn't have to worry about anything pertaining to the service and burial. They were also very responsive and resourceful whenever we felt stuck. My father looked very handsome on the day of service. They really took excellent care of him as well as our family. We are very grateful 🙏.”
