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
“Mr. Glen truly goes above and beyond. When my father passed away, he and his team stepped in and helped my family through the entire process from start to finish. They were compassionate, responsive, and incredibly patient in answering every question and explaining each step clearly, which brought so much peace during a very overwhelming time. They handled everything with professionalism and genuine care, and I never felt rushed or like “just another case.” Communication was excellent, and their attention to detail made a stressful situation feel manageable. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust—especially during a difficult season.Mr. Glen and his team are the ones. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
