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
“Personal is very nice, and accommodating no complaints. But they have a long list of petty fee's including a maintenance (not making this up) fee for a decades old hearse plus several hundred dollars for about 14 mile trip. Paid over twice what the internet says the average funeral costs. It's an emotional time and you have no alternatives in a small town.”
— J G C
“Only funeral home in the area, and he knows it. Charged us almost DOUBLE what another funeral home would have for a cremation, no services, no urn, nothing extra...”
— Traci B
“Beautiful facility and kind patient gentle staff”
— Patsy Stuva
