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
“I cannot recommend Holman-Hankins-Bowker & Waud more highly. Both Tim and Ron were incredibly sensitive and responsive during one of the hardest times of our lives. When my dad died suddenly on a Sunday evening, emergency services recommended HHB&W. Ron called us back immediately and arranged for transport of my dad's remains that very night. When we met with Tim the next day to arrange a private viewing and cremation, he took care of everything with such professionalism and genuine kindness. He was respectful of our budget and never tried to upsell us unnecessary products or services. Both Tim and Ron were timely and responsive with all paperwork, administrative tasks, and posting of the obituary. They provided true comfort during an incredibly difficult time, and we are so grateful for how good they are at their jobs. Thank you, Tim and Ron, for everything.”
