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
“I wish I could leave a zero star rating. I received my mothers ashes in the mail yesterday and they were packaged so poorly. No care was given at all. Nothing was wrapped around the "urn" to ensure it stayed closed. it was placed in a white box which was placed in a shipping box. As pictured you can see no thought was put into protecting the urn during shipping. When I opened the box ashes and dust came out all over my table and floor. There was ashes spilled in the shipping box. The urn, if you can call it that, was open and it was completely covered in dust and ashes. Even the death certificates are grainy from being covered in Ash. My dogs remaines received better care after he was cremated then my mother's remains did. It's very disheartening to know my mother was being spilled all over the US postal service. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do to clean it up. Honestly I can't throw the box away. I haven't even been able to wipe down the urn cuz what am I supposed to do? Just throw part of her ashes away. Wipe away part of her ashes with a wet cloth 😭💔 This is really terrible 😔”
