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.

“When you're grieving, you need support, comfort, & understanding. I found that and more at Fogelsanger-Bricker. Justin, the funeral director I worked with, was patient, calm, & helpful. Whether it's planning a full service or just ordering keepsakes, he took the time to find out what I really wanted. He explained things well & kept me in the loop, so I knew exactly what would happen when. Our family was profoundly grateful to have him helping us. He really made a dreadful time more bearable.”
