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.

“Unfortunately I was tasked with planning my mother’s funeral. Wiseman was resourceful and professional from beginning to end. With my mom’s death being imminent, I had direct access to Mr. Wiseman. The next morning he answered my call and ensured his staff provided the best service. The owners were accessible 24/7 and answered all my questions. Was everything perfect, no but I would return in a heartbeat. Good staff. Great location. Awesome customer service. Immaculate amenities. Thank you for your service during my difficult journey!”
