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.

“This funeral home is stellar… The team at Erickson-Anderson are the most extraordinary people who have a sincere passion for caring and putting families first. The compassion and kindness they put in to the services they provide is just outstanding. They genuinely want to make every family feel at home and comfortable. They remember every detail for families and relieve so much stress on the day of services because they show up and make sure everything runs as smoothly and seamless as possible. If I ever have to have services planned for my own family, Sean and Allison at Erickson Anderson would be my first call. The facility is also beautiful and comforting. You can tell this location is loved by its staff and families it serves.”

“Norma and Sean were so helpful when my aunt passed away. The process was so seamless and easy during this especially difficult time. We were very happy with how Erickson-Anderson handled everything and decided to also use their pre-arrangement services for my mom, and me, and my husband. It’s comforting knowing that this is taken care of ahead of time and very reasonably priced.”
— Angela Garcia
“In the midst of incredible sadness Sean and his team were so very warm and kind. Every detail was smooth and painless although I was emotional and my family as well I felt they were very empathetic to all of our guests. I felt like my mom was in great hands and they handled her with such care. She looked beautiful and everything was perfect at the viewing. Thank you 🙏”
