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.

“Losing a loved one is incredibly hard, but Andrew and Julie at Riplinger Funeral Home made a really tough time so much easier. It’s just the two of them running things, and you can truly feel how much they care. They were with us every step of the way — always kind, incredibly organized, and never once made us feel rushed. They answered the phone every single time I called, no matter when. They walked us through each part of the process, making something that felt overwhelming feel manageable and even peaceful. What meant the most was how much time they took to get to know my mom and our family. They asked such thoughtful questions and were genuinely interested in honoring her life in a personal, meaningful way. The website is also beautiful and easy to use, which made sharing service details with others really simple. I truly hope you don’t need a funeral home anytime soon — but when that time comes, go here. You’ll be in kind, capable, and deeply compassionate hands.”
