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.

“We unfortunately lost our daughter after an 18 week pregnancy, and were referred to Kendal Wade Funeral Home to handle her remains. From my first interaction with them, they have been nothing but the height of compassion. Their kindness and generosity through this traumatic event has been so healing for our family. They even included a cute bear and a personalized sweater when they hand-delivered her cremains today (!!). I feel very seen and just so grateful to this incredible business.”
— Bronwen Hale Dearden
