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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 say enough good things about Mark, the owner. I lost my father on May 1st, 2024 and he was such a comfort from the beginning of planning all the way to the end. Granted, my sister did most of the communicating with him since she is local but he made himself available for any questions pretty much around the clock. When we found out my father didn't have life insurance or Medicare as we thought he did, Mark alleviated the financial strain by working within our budget and wrote up an itemized receipt to keep us on track. Mark kept things professional but was so supportive at a time when my siblings and I really needed it. On top of that, the funeral home itself is gorgeous. Space wasn't an issue and the restrooms were easily accessible. Overall, we met Mark under devastating circumstances but I'm glad we did. If I ever require funeral services again, I'll only go here. Thank you so much Mark!”

“When my dad passed away, I needed to find a funeral home. During my search, most companies were hesitant to provide pricing, treated me like just another number, or were difficult to reach. Then I called Mark, and it was his direct line. He answered right away, provided all the details and costs with professionalism, and offered to meet us the same day. His genuine care made us feel valued, not like just another customer. Mark exceeded our expectations in both service and timeframe. My mother also praised his speed and professionalism. I would 100% recommend Mark in the unfortunate event that a family member passes away. During tough times, it’s important to ensure things like this are stress free, quick, and don’t break the bank. Thank you again, Mark!”
— Manny Melas
