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
“I cannot recommend this funeral home enough. If I could give it 6 stars I would. From start to finish of a difficult process such as losing a loved one and planning a funeral, Keffer staff were always so friendly,helpful,polite and caring. They were very accommodating and pretty much whatever I asked they did. They were there every single step of the way and made all my decisions very easy. The service for my dad was very nice. Specific shoutout to Grace and Sean who went above and beyond. Keffer is the most affordable and flexible funeral home to go with, there's no other choice”

“The service and care that was taken by each and everyone that assisted in the process of my parents final preparations, who died 3 months apart, was more than I could have asked for. The kindness, compassion and guidance provided by Sean and Emma was just what we needed to get through the whole process. I felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Thank you all for what you do everyday! You are all truly appreciated.”
— Christi Landis
“I had my mother cremated here back in 2007 and just recently my father October 2024. We each got personalized urns. The service, professionalism, and timing, was excellent. I do highly recommend bringing your loved one to this facility. The spreading of our parents ashes combining together in the water was beautiful”
