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
“We came to Tident because my father-in-law had contracted with them before he passed. We had a wonderful experience during a very difficult time. They took care of everything, kept us informed along the way and were very kind and caring toward us. Special shout out to Derrick for his stellar service and amazing attitude. We highly recommend using this service to prepare for the inevitable. Your family will thank you.”
— Sue Groff
“The Trident Society handled my brother’s arrangements, and I cannot say enough about how incredible they were during such a difficult time. Derrick King oversaw everything, and he was truly exceptional. Derrick was caring, compassionate, professional, prompt, and unbelievably patient. Every step of the way, he treated me with empathy and genuine kindness. No matter what I needed — big or small — he handled it with understanding and willingness to help. During one of the hardest seasons of my life, Derrick and the Trident Society made the process as smooth and comforting as possible. I am deeply grateful for their support and highly recommend them to anyone needing end-of-life services. Thank you, Derrick, for your compassion and care. It meant more than you know.”
— Cathy McMillan
“This is not our first time working with the Trident Society, and each experience has been marked by respect, compassion, and great care. Derrick explained the entire process clearly, and whenever I had questions, he responded quickly and thoroughly. He also assisted with the permits and the arrangements at the national cemetery where my father is interred, ensuring that my parents could be together. He even took the time to contact the cemetery directly to confirm they had everything needed for my mother’s burial. When everything was complete, we met with Derrick and Christina to receive my mother’s ashes and the required paperwork. Our experience with Derrick, Christina, and Trident Society as a whole has been consistently respectful, thorough, and positive. They made a difficult time easier, and we are grateful for the care and professionalism they provided.”
