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 have nothing but wonderful things to say about Clancy Strickland Wheeler Funeral Home. My mom passed away in a local memory care facility and was prepared there before being transported back to New York for her final resting place. The communication between the funeral home in N.Y. and Andy at Clancy Strickland Wheeler was seamless. They handled everything so smoothly that it gave me the freedom to focus on everything else. When my mom arrived in New York, she looked absolutely beautiful. The owners of the funeral home there even commented on how wonderful she looked. I’m so grateful for the care, professionalism, and compassion expressed by Andy and Laurie.”
— Adriana Scott-Wolf
“I'm so grateful to the Lord that we went with Andy, Laurie, and the team at CSW. In the immediate days following a loss, the last thing you want to do is make decisions and arrangements but Andy was so kind, understanding, patient, and supportive. We had called a couple places before finding Andy and, truly, that initial phone call with him was all it took for us to know we should partner with him. He was so knowledgeable but that knowledge was couched with kindness and grace. Just one example: on the morning of the funeral, the florist had unfortunately left something out of the floral arrangement that had been delivered and Andy and Laurie immediately sprang into action. Laurie even dashed out to a couple stores and found exactly what we were looking for, just in time, as it was an important emotional component to the arrangement. Above and beyond. Overall, they held our family's hands well, every step of the way. Thank you Andy, Laurie, and everyone at CSW for the love you have shown us and for being another conduit of grace that the Lord Jesus has given us throughout all this.”
— Kristen Bell
