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
“Absolute professionalism and genuine compassion from Robert and the entire Good Shepherd team. Incredible support for our family during a difficult time, and EVERYTHING we wanted, down to a live bugler at the National Cemetery, Patriot Guard motorcycle riders, and a super unique hearse for Dad. I am a licensed funeral director in Missouri, and if I could give Good Shepherd six stars, I would. Thank you Robert and team!”
— Michael J. Dijak
“Good Shepherd was so helpful and very caring during the planning of my brother-in-law. Giselle sat down with us and explained everything that we needed to do in our time of sorrow. She is very professional and kind. The cost of his cremation fit our budget in such an unexpected time of his death. I highly recommend Good Shepherd. Thank you Good Shepherd for all your help.”
— Staci Lawless
“Everything was handled beautifully. Gisselle seemed part of the he family at the cemetary, just by her care and calm attention to detail. We felt she belonged there. That made the whole service even less stressful and difficult.”
