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
“Annamarie was very professional when she arrived and explained the process to us. Scheduling was very easy with the mortuary and Annamarie took care of all our questions and concerns. Sarah followed up with the family to see if there was anything they could help with and how we were doing. John A Gentleman at 72nd & Western continues to be a very caring mortuary. They have helped our family out throughout the years (decades). Thank you!”
