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.

From the very beginning, they made an overwhelming and unfamiliar process so much easier for our family.

They explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt supported and at peace with every decision. They were incredibly kind, compassionate, and professional. They were easy to talk to, open to negotiation, and truly willing to work with us. Every request we had was granted with care and understanding. They did not just meet our expectations — they exceeded them. They honored my husband in such a unique and beautiful way that we have never seen before. Even in the middle of our grief, they found a way to bring comfort and even smiles to our family. You can truly see that she loves what she does, and it shows in every single detail.
