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’m from out of the area and needed a local funeral home to aid in publishing my husband’s obituary. Dave was awesome. Not only was he kind and understanding of my situation but assisted me with the correct format etc for the publishing. And in record time, I might add. I can’t say enough good things about how compassionate, knowledgeable and helpful he was. Though I don’t even live in the state, I do have friends and relatives here and have asked them all to consider Tindall Funeral Home for future needs. Thank-you Dave for giving me the comfort of knowing it is all handled.”

“We came from out of state the day after my mother-in-law passed away. We had already gone through loosing other family members and had nerve wracking experiences. I was expecting a terrible time getting everything ready. We were so amazed at Dave Tindall!! He handled everything!!! All the employees were just wonderful. It took an awful stress off us. I would recommend Tindall Funeral home to the highest. Wish there was one on our state.”
— Lloyd & Marlene Steele
“My mother was receiving hospice care and we visited Tindall Funeral Home just before her passing. My father, sister and I sat with David Tindall and pre-arranged (what we could) in preparation for my mother's funeral. He was very organized and understood that we wanted to handle her arrangements in a swift but caring way. He did and rose above and beyond. We chose to have calling hours with a service to follow right at the funeral home. It worked out beautifully and it was so memorable. The funeral home is classy, beautiful and updated. The staff was there to help with anything necessary. David's father, Bob, was there as well, and not only took the time to pay his respects to my mother, but to visit with us as a family, especially my father who is an old friend, prior to calling hours. I would highly recommend using Tindall Funeral Home. They executed the the somber tasks graciously. The fact that we have used them for several generations when the end of life has arrived for our loved ones, still holds true. We appreciate your care and professionalism. God Bless....and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The Family of Judith Ann Smith.”
