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
“The process was smooth and timely. Jeff DeRoo did a fantastic job in communicating and arranging our final plans. I had a small issue with a receptionist. I needed assistance with my loved one’s belongings and she was quite irritated I didn’t have an appointment. I knew they had just arrived from the hospital and asked for assistance to retrieve them. She ultimately assisted but made it very clear I should set an appointment before a future visit.”
— Sue Lerschen-Cassatt
