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
“Vivian was wonderful, she is so respectful, concerning, passionate, and very patient. Vivian made sure all paperwork was completed with the insurance policy. I called numerous times and Vivian stated no worries she understood. Losing a loved one especially your mother is hard enough to deal with, but with all the help from Vivian she made the process so much easier. The family wanted to be together for prayer the day cremation took place and Vivian kept her promise to inform the day and time and for that she was much appreciated. Vivian I thank you so much during this difficult time. God Bless”

“This was our third timing working with the team at Caring Cremations. In each instance we have experienced clear, detailed information and most importantly sensitivity in very tough to navigate emotional situations. They offer various option for pre-planning which we used in 2 of the 3 instances. Highly recommend working with them.”
