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
“Extremely professional, yet sympathetic and friendly staff. They take care of so many things, so you don’t have to. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the entire process. Our family has used Bauer twice and will do so again when needed without hesitation. When my dad was in hospice, they took the time to listen to what we wanted and offer options for that and didn't try to sell us what we didn't want. It was greatly appreciated.”
— Dan Warren
