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.

From the moment we entrusted them with our loved one, their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail were evident in everything they did.

The staff went above and beyond to support our family, making us feel cared for and understood every step of the way. The experience was as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be, and we are so thankful for their guidance and support during this challenging time. Thank you, Stephanie, Nick and Durst Funeral Home, for your incredible kindness and professionalism.”

“Our family has used Durst Funeral Home for 3 generations. They are extremely professional and highly consistent. Most recently, our mother passed away in SC. Stephanie seamlessly took care of all the logistics regarding her transfer to Frostburg. The service was beautiful. Stephanie was always available to answer our many questions and did her best to insure no detail was overlooked.”
