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
“Thought this place was alright after my grandma passed but it seems that would just be because they already had her money. I called last night, raw and scared, less than 3 hours after my mother passed suddenly. Tried to explain that I didnt know how to do any of this. I didn't know how to cope or plan this stuff and I was just doing what the nurse advised me. The answering service was nice. The actual employee was not. The woman on call was short with me and rude. Cut me off when I tried to ask questions and made it clear that she was annoyed with me for not knowing what to do. She rattled prices off then became annoyed when I didn't grasp it all the first time before saying "Try [this place]." And that was that. No help, not even a tiny bit of sympathy or empathy. Cold. Heartless. Glad I couldnt afford them. I wouldn't want my mother in their care and if I could go back, I would entrust my grandmother's care to someone else.”
— Monica Mahoney
