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
“I had the absolute WORST experience at Anderson-Goodale with Rich Anderson. He never even told us who he was (I found out later) he never asked for my name, never offered condolences for the loss of my Dad who had died unexpectedly (12 hours previous). He never blinked an eye when he asked who had died previously and I told him my daughter recently died from childhood cancer only a year ago. Still- nothing said at all. He was like a rude business man who was late for lunch! I recommend Dames Funeral home as we have used them in the past and they were very comforting, supportive and "human".”
— Debbie Bugg
“it is always difficult to lose a loved one, but it is made even more difficult when you do not know where to turn. Anderson-Goodale staff were always there for me and my family during our most difficult time. I will never forget the kindness and support they provided us. From the moment we walked in the door, we felt like we were in good hands. The staff was incredibly kind and understanding, and they never pressured us into making any decisions. They took the time to explain all of our options to us and helped us choose the service that was right for our family. I am very grateful for the support I received from Anderson-Goodale during this difficult time. They helped me to celebrate the life of my loved one and gave me the space to grieve and remember. I will never forget their kindness and support, and I would highly recommend Anderson-Goodale to anyone looking for a funeral home.”
— Oscar Romero
“Rich Anderson should not be in the funeral business. He was abrupt and had no empathy . When I walked into the conference room, I said I was the daughter of the man who passed. He said, “don’t tell me your name, I will just forget it”. He didn’t offer condolences; He was focused on telling us about the contract rather than guiding us through this painful experience. He also caused quite a lot of stress by saying he couldn’t be sure what day we could hold the funeral.”
— Janet Epstein
