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
“The team at Van Dyke Duven have taken care of many members of my family, including my mother and my father. The team here is amazing to work with and so kind and compassionate as you work through the difficult process of starting to say good-bye to a loved one. Both my parents passed away without having planned their own funeral and the team here was very helpful in planning service that my parents would have been proud of. They certainly go above and beyond in all aspects.”
