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 can not believe what I'm reading on here. You don't say that when you have a person who can't pay... where is your compassion and professionalism? I'm so shocked that l had to post this. This is not how to conduct business by no means. You should be ashamed of yourself and your behavior. I'm sure there must be a licensing board or some kind of agency that oversees and investigates Indiana ran funeral homes to ensure that these kinds of behaviors are not taking place. I will spend tonight looking for this information so that it can be reported, and hopefully, no one else will have to endure this kind of treatment. My heart goes out to this person and their family who were talked to rudely while dealing with the loss of a loved one and then having it posted that they failed to pay for the services provided. Stop and think if this was me, I would be wondering what or how they treated the remains of the person I just lost and placed in the care of these people and trusting that they were handled in proper procedure with care and respect. Yes, this can not go on. It's my responsibility as a member of society and the community to ensure it doesn't.”
— Selinda Stevens
“Very rude service!!! With someone that's just dealing with a loss, one would think there would be compassion for your fellow human. Go somewhere else... I wouldn't recommend this crematory.”
— Brutally Honest
