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
“Pre-planning is the best gift you can give your children. This facility met every need and has extra support and special touches that make a hard time manageable. Free grief support services are also available here. They took great care of our loved one.”
— Susan Van Fossen
“So very kind! They were there if we had questions but not intrusive. I'm so happy my dad made his plans there as well. They couldn't have been more accommodating.”
— Julie Gossett
“Attended a funeral today at this place. there were so many people that a lot of them had to sit sit in the overflow room. I'm sure this is not the first time this place has experienced this situation. You would think that that they would have a system set up that the over flow room could see and hear what was going on in the main room. Very disrespectful to the deceased family and friends.”
