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.

“Piper Funeral Home in St. Mary's, KS is outstanding! When our father passed a month ago, David the director, was so compassionate, thorough, & professional. He even went above & beyond over an issue with the cemetery & took care of it, so we had less to deal with at this difficult time. I would highly recommend Piper Funeral Home. They will take care of you. Thank you again, David & staff. My family appreciates you so much!”
