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 wife passed, I had no idea where to start. Several people told me to contact Jolene at BraterWinter funeral services. Im so thankful for that advice. Jolene did a wonderful job of walking us through our options and choices. My wife's celebration couldn't have been any better!! They also have two excellent facilities to choose from (Sayler Park and Harrison). I can't thank Jolene enough for walking me though what turned out to be a great event honoring my wife's life.”
