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 was a first time visitor on Wednesday July 10, 2019. It was an amazing experience noting the dates in the headstones and the size of the property. With all the overhanging trees the cemetary was cool to walk through on a hot summer morning. Leave your bikes at home, not allowed. Too many hills anyway. The cemetery would be amazing to walk through in the fall season.”
— Richard K
“Incredibly beautiful Gothic cemetery with unique and striking architecture. Great place to walk, read a book, or have a photo shoot. Very peaceful and historic.”
— Heather Wellington
“Beautiful clean and wonderful paradise haven. I would recommend highly the niche area for those that go that way. Best rating for the facility upkeep and appearance. Service was well thought and performed in all respects. Kind and compassionate works for all details. Thank You”
