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
“Thank you to Philip Watkins our funeral director, for taking such great care of us during this past week. This has been such difficult time for our family, and everyone at Evergreen Washelli in Seattle was so gracious and professional. I can’t tell you how much we all appreciate it!!! You took care of every detail and made this situation so much easier than I thought it would be. The customized service folders for the funeral were incredible! So personalized and a beautiful keepsake to honor my husband. The catered reception following the service was beyond my expectations- the food was beautifully displayed and having our slideshow and music running during the reception made it a very relaxing and “enjoyable” time for our friends and family. Last but certainly not least, Paul Boardman who was recommended to us by Washelli to officiate our service, did a beautiful job at remembering and honoring my husband. You all are so caring and compassionate- I cannot thank you enough!”

“Evergreen Washelli is an SCI owned funeral home and columbarium. Most funeral homes in operation today are SCi owned and operated and if you don't know what SCI is I suggest you do a little research before you really start looking into long term burial investments. That being said, Evergreen Washelli does have it's own unique place in Seattle history. It's Columbarium is beautiful. Most of the actual cemetery itself is beautiful and well maintained. I know for a fact they are doing a complete rehaul of the water system and a re-roof of the Columbarium. Most of my family is interned at Evergreen Washelli and I have a pre-planned niche there as well. They are also unique in they have a witness crematorium. I think they might be the only funeral home in the state with one. They are not cheap though. A funeral at Evergreen Washelli, a bare bones cremation will run you at least 5,000 minimum. So you need to remember when you walk into the door that death at a funeral home is first and foremost a business. Funeral directors are not grief counselors, they are salesmen. So remember that Nana isn't going to see whatever you put her in. And I know this because I was a funeral director.”

“The entire team was very personably , professional, caring and showed the upmost respect for my family. The celebration service was wonderful. My family was able to pay our last respects and say goodbye to our mom in a absolutely perfect setting. Rachelle did a great job making us all feel comfortable in preparing for the service. Paul, our celebrant, was incredible. It is easy to see that he cares. A very graceful man. I would have to give Paul six stars. Well done, thank you and God bless. Daniel McManus”
