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
“Many thanks to Heritage for their patience in working through the hurdles of technology and the postal system as we processed paperwork for the cremation of our dear niece Aurora who had moved north and a long car ride away. I’m also impressed with Heritage’s offer of a grief counseling group contact, something I need even when I think I’m doing OK. The older I get, the more I value community of every kind. Thanks to Heritage for providing a supportive arm around my shoulders during this time of loss. Victoria H, 86, NW suburban Chicago”
