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.

“My family was very pleased with the level of service we received. Jenna did an outstanding job walking us thru the process and keeping us informed. The office and transportation staff was very kind and considerate. Everyone at Routsong is highly professional and made us feel that we were their highest priority. It was much appreciated.”
— Tom Janning
“My veteran father’s funeral was yesterday and viewing the day before. I don’t write reviews but I have never met a more worthy place to share my gratitude. They handled every aspect with respect and patience. My family is not known for making swift decisions and Sam was very understanding. The entire staff put on the most beautiful services I’ve ever experience. Not only did the wonderful staff accommodate my young kids by providing cookies and playing with my son and his paper airplanes, they also gave clear but soft direction so the entirety of the event went smoothly. And when Sam says he is going to direct the show, he means business and does his job to the quality of secret service! He didn’t skip a beat! Thank you to everyone involved at Routsong and Sam. In the most difficult time of my life, you all made a memory that will live on for generations. Our family has already agreed we will never have any of our funerals anywhere else but here. Thank you ♥️”
