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 had a service there this weekend and a luncheon after. First I had to pay extra for the weekend so it was almost $3000 just to rent the facility. Communication was not great and I was never given a tour of where we will be until that morning. Then while my guests and I were eating, we caught staff not only making themselves plates, but taking the to go containers full of food and dessert before we were even done eating. I was previously told no staff work the weekend that is why is extra to have to call someone in. Meanwhile there was 6 to 8 staff that continued to come in to help themselves, uninvited. I haven't spoken to anyone yet, trying to figure out how they have such audacity to interrupt and help themselves especially with all the money I paid to have a private event. I would not recommend this place to anyone!!”

“Beautiful service for my dad. I cannot thank them enough for what they did. My dad passed back in February 2021. They accommodated our entire family during covid restrictions. I highly recommend for a loved one's services. Very professional, very caring.”
— Carla W
“Losing my husband was difficult but planning all the details with Chapel of Light made things stress free. I highly recommend this location if you lost a loved one. They went above and beyond to ensure my husband had an honorable service. He was in the Army and Chapel of Light helped coordinate all events. I sent my husband off with respect and dignity thanks to Chapel of Light, I now have peace.”
