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
“At the expense of my own health, I was my sister Kathy's sole caregiver for the last 25 years of her life. When she passed away, graveside service arrangements were made, and being unable to drive, I was denied transportation to services. A video was made, but it is very difficult to watch certain relatives there who had no involvement in Kathy's caregiving.”
— Jeff Stalnaker

“The loss of my mom was sudden and unexpected, and we had no idea where to start looking at funeral homes. I'm so greatful that we decided to use Gorman-Scharpf. They were so helpful, supportive, and amazing people to work with. Andy, the funeral director who helped us, was great and I know God pointed us in the right direction for our mom's services. Thank you SO much for everything, you all did an amazing job.”
