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.

“Chestnut funeral Home provided us the opportunity to have a beautiful home going service for my Father who passed away in December. While working with Chestnut to plan the service they made sure that we were well informed on all of our options. Additionally, they shared a cost effective ways to make it more affordable when it came to the burial, with my Dad being an Army Veteran he was able to be buried at a National Cemetery which saved us thousands. This was news to me and my family, it also added an extra special touch that we will always cherish. Special thank you to PJ and Chris who truly treated us as family during our time of mourning. It takes a special person to do this job and you are the Best to do it. God Bless you.”
