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
“No one plans for sudden deaths and it is so unbelievably difficult and impossible to navigate through it all…Bennett Funeral and Cremation Care has been amazing. I wish I had the words to express just how amazing they have been throughout this entire experience. I cannot speak highly enough about everyone that assisted us so gently and thoroughly. My husband and I will be using them to pre plan for our end of life care and HIGHLY recommend them to you for your family or friendship circle if you are looking for care, compassion, comfort, and support at prices that are beyond reasonable. Send the text, make the call, and let them care for you and provide their support and expertise through this time…we are grateful and cannot express that enough. Call or text them..it’s too much to go through without their care. If I could rate over 5 stars I would give them a million stars.”
