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
“Brian and the rest of the staff are the most compassionate and respectful people I’ve ever met. They treated me like family and are all easy to work with and had really good suggestions for the service. They even suggested a beautiful chapel nearby since mine and my husband’s family was so large. I was impressed with all the little details like the slideshow, the music, the gorgeous collage of pictures of him and as a surprise they made a blanket for me with pictures of us with a beautiful quote on it. They are very reasonable and always available when I had questions. Thank you, Brian for helping me create a truly beautiful sendoff for Larry!”
— Suzanne Harrington
