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
“I have delayed writing this review because I fear I do not have adequate words to describe how beautifully each detail of my father’s funeral and burial was handled. Eric’s compassion, attention to detail, and gentle guidance turned the most painful experience of my life into a memory I will forever cherish. Not only did he expertly advise on and handle the major details, such as casket selection, but he also took a personal interest in ensuring the smallest touches were just right. From creating the slideshow to making sure the food in the family room was exactly what we wanted, he was a quiet, steady presence every step of the way. What meant the most, however, was how Eric ensured every aspect of the service reflected who my father was. Knowing my dad was a classic car buff, he brought out the funeral home’s vintage 1955 Cadillac hearse and matching family car for the processional—despite the cold and snowy weather. This incredibly thoughtful gesture honored my father’s passion and added a deeply personal touch to the day, making it all the more meaningful. In a time of overwhelming loss, Eric and his team provided more than just a service—they offered comfort, dignity, and care when we needed it most. For that, I am endlessly grateful.”
