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
“My father passed in October and Todd handled all of the arrangements. My father’s Celebration of Life Ceremony and graveside burial were perfect. A new florist was recommended to us by Todd and she did a fantastic job - the casket spray was stunning. The graveside service was like a scene out of a movie. The day was perfect and the whole ceremony from beginning to end was tranquil and beautiful. My professional event planning aunt (she plans weddings, anniversaries, baby showers, and funerals etc.), couldn’t stop talking about how perfect everything was. The guitarist created an atmosphere that was ethereal and so peaceful. What a blessing to have such good memories and feelings during a very difficult time.”

“Todd was helpful and made sure we understood the process. He took care of obtaining my father's VA flag. He is much more reasonably priced compared to the companies in Sioux Falls. He had a quick turnaround for the cremation process and did not try to upset things we did not want. I appreciate his dedication to the community and the process was made simple.”
— Josh Hamann
“Todd and staff, I am not sure I can thank you enough for the care that you gave me and my family during the difficult time of losing my husband unexpectedly. Todd spent over 2 hours of his vacation to talk us through what to expect, what was needed, and that he had our backs with everything. His attention to detail made this difficult situation a little easier. You and your staff's compassion and thoughtfulness through this brought great comfort to us all. Todd went above and beyond to make Blaine’s celebration of life a beautiful memory especially because it fell around the holidays. Todd did everything and more to help get the military service that my husband deserved. This made for a very moving funeral/military service. You are a special person to do what you do and a lot of my family and friends commented on how the beautiful the service was. Not only did Todd take care of my husband and his service, but back in 2016 and 2018 he handled when my in-laws passed away in Sioux Falls and he prepared their bodies for transport back to Bison, SD. I highly recommend Todd and his staff at Heartland Funeral Home in Brandon, SD.”
