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
“We purchased a cremation package and have called several times to change and follow up regarding the funeral service scheduled for this Thursday. Unfortunately, we have not received any response. We would appreciate a prompt call back to confirm the arrangements and ensure everything is in order.”
— Nga N.
“We used Vondel and Smith for both my parents and they did a beautiful job for both Mom and Dad. They are very caring and took care of everything for us. The facility is so beautiful and kept clean; they took time to make this difficult time so peaceful for us.”
— Missy Nation
“If I could give zero stars I definitely would! We have used this funeral service for a couple of family members it was beautiful. However, that all changed May 26, 2025 when my sister passed. We contacted vondell for her services because we loved how they treated us previously. This time no compassion at all instead judged like we weren't going to pay them because supposedly my dad had a balance from eleven years ago. Which we did not know and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to blurt that information out to people who were not even references. We felt attacked, less than, and definitely like second class. He kept saying how my dad had a balance and rushed to get my sister out of the house. The 467.00 to get my sister moved from this company was the best option. Do better we all were planning to use your services when we pass but definitely will not be returning. If someone owes you you should not take it out on the rest of the family and turn a tragedy into a collection attempt. My sister battled ALS and struggled she deserves to rest in peace and we deserve to moarn with compassion.”
