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
“From the onset of our tragic event involving our son, Riley and Christina (and their team) were phenomenal in addressing and handling our questions and requests. I had no doubt that our son’s care was in good hands and being handled with the utmost dignity.”
— ANTHONY SCHEERER
“We experienced the death of two close family members just two months apart. Needless to say, we were overwhelmed with grief and anxiety. Keith made both experiences easier to handle. Not only is he very kind and compassionate, but also hard-working and detail-oriented. When we needed death certificates quicker than usual, he picked them up himself. I am grateful for all of his help and also had positive experiences when encountering other staff members.”
— Gayle
“Chris was great, she helped us figure out what would best serve not only me but my family.”
— Amy Crilly
