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
“Had my mother's funeral services here. The staff was very kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. They made a very difficult time less stressful for our entire family (very large family) Mom would have loved everything. Everything was handled with care and dignity.”
— CJON
“The office woman, Carolyn, has to be one of the rudest people our family has ever had to deal with. She has been extremely rude and aggressive when speaking with members of our family as well as the monument company that created the headstone for my father in law. It was so bad, my husband had to speak to Mark, the general manager, just to get the issue resolved. An issue that she created by failing to keep her paperwork in order. When we initially spoke to them about the headstone, we were told it would be $4,000 for them to do the headstone. We chose to go with a monument company due to Carolyn's treatment of my husband and his sister. We paid about half the price they quoted us, and it was with the same maker of the headstone, exact same headstone they would have had made. We were told up front that there would be a charge of approximately $350 to place the headstone, payable to Honaker, once it was ready to be placed. Now that it is ready to be placed, the price has jumped up to over $600. If my father in law had not already had a plot at Honaker, we would have placed him to rest in another cemetery, simply based on the treatment from the beginning. While we would like to buried with our other family members that have went before us, there is no way would leave the burden of dealing with these people to our child. Being in the business of death, you would think the people who work there would be honest and compassionate. That is not the case!”
