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
“We had the privilege of working with Earthman and Zelma in 2019. The death that had occurred in the family was a huge shock to us, and Zelma couldn’t have been a more perfect person. When I saw her name again to help me with a death last month, I immediately felt relief. I truly feel there isn’t a job more perfect for Zelma. She is the definition of calm, cool and collected, and offers the perfect amount of sympathy yet guidance in some of the darkest times of your life. She is knowledgeable and something about her just makes you trust her from the jump. I think she was meant to be a funeral director, as crazy as that sounds. Although I don’t want to work with her in the future, I hope to always be assigned to her if I have to be. She’s the best! I would pick Earthman over and over again as long as she’s working there.”
— Madeline Smith
“Zelma is extraordinary and we had a wonderful experience at a hard time in our lives. Highly recommend them!”
— Trish McAllister
“The customer service and ease of planning made the decisions much easier to make than I expected. The facility was beautiful and the service went very well. I used the catering which made it so easy to have the reception afterwards without any additional planning. Will was so responsive and patient with all of my questions and requests. I was so pleased to be able to honor my son in this special way.”
— Michelle Gilbert
