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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our loved one was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience under the circumstances, and we highly recommend Vodrazka Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate, high-quality service.”

“Our family had many requests in preparing a celebration of life for our mother. Vodrazka FH was on board throughout the process. Our mom lived a long fulfilled and exciting life. Our family wanted her memories to be part of the celebration. Vodrazka FH played moms favorite music from the 70 & 80's which many enjoyed. There were no tears just everyone honoring her with love. Thank you Vodrazka FH for your kindness and compassion.”
