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.

“To Brian and the Staff of Kniffen O’Malley Leffler Funeral and Cremation Services, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and professionalism you provided during my mother’s funeral.

From the arrangements to the meticulous preparation—her dressing, hair, and makeup—everything was absolutely beautiful. You ensured that every detail was seamlessly handled, and your dedication did not go unnoticed. EVERYONE who attended praised the outstanding job you and your staff did.
