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
“Our entire family chose Be A Tree Cremation for my sister’s death care a few months before she passed. She was able to be part of the decision, and she truly felt that Be A Tree reflected her deep environmental values. She especially appreciated learning about the memorial products and the meaningful water donation options available. We wholeheartedly recommend their entire staff. Their care and concern for us — the survivors — has continued through thoughtful emails, calls, and texts. My mom and I genuinely feel their compassion and remain forever grateful for the tenderness and respect they showed our beloved family member, Cinnamon. Thank you.”
— Minka
“My experience from the first inquiry of the cremation and scattering process until the very end was outstanding. Every staff member was very honest and helpful to me and my family even if Be A Tree ended up not being the best fit. You don't find honesty and integrity like that anymore. Sheree helped us scatter my mothers ashes and her and husband were awesome guides in helping my family navigate my mother's final resting place! She took pictures and even offered to dispose of our scattering urns for us!! I will always recommend Be A Tree to anyone who is interested in cremation services for their loved one.”
— Chantel Akerele
“I cannot recommend Be a Tree more. They were supportive while my dad was in hospice and have been throughout, even a month after his death. I appreciated all of their care, services, support, and transparency. We will absolutely use them again. Every person was professional and compassionate during a painful time.”
