Heidrick Funeral Home

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
“When my father passed away this summer, he had had prepaid all his funeral expense at a funeral home near where I live in Western New York, about six hours away. Jerod was extremely kind and helpful working with both the other funeral home and myself. He was especially helpful when issues with the death certificate prevented transporting my father to Vermont for cremation. Everything worked out in the end and we were able to serve all of my father's wishes. I can reccomend the Heidrick Funeral Home enough. Thank you for helping in a tough time.”
— Paul Woughter
“Jerod was incredibly kind and supportive of our family when my sister passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. They straightened out another funeral home's mistakes and helped transport her body to Plattsburgh, smoothing the way for timely cremation services while ensuring that everyone was kept informed at all times as to what was happening. Let's face it... funeral services are not something that anyone ever wants to need or deal with. But it is a reality that we all have to plan for as our families age. After the experience of working with caring professionals such as Jerod and his team, we will trust Heidrick with all of our family's future burial needs.”
— Keri Sprenger
“I highly recommend Heidrick Funeral Home. My family sought their help after my mother passed away. They accommodated all of our wishes and provided exactly the service and burial we wanted for her. Jerod answered every question and addressed every concern we had and made the whole sad process as easy as it possibly could have been. The knowledge and competence they demonstrated, as well as their empathy and kindness, were truly remarkable.”
