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
“From the time the two young men showed up to pick My Son up from our home. They were the kindest, most gentle human beings. The process was simple and adequate and every interaction I had with any employee was a 10 out of 10. Thank you so much for the kind and caring interactions. Definitely recommend your business.”
— Amy Johnson
“When my husband passed away very suddenly and very unexpectedly, I didn’t know what to do, a friend recommended St Louis Cremation. When I called them, they were amazing. Their kindness, compassion, they understood my financial situation, and didn’t press to do more. I highly recommend them for your loved ones.”
— Deb Sullivan
“My husband had the foresight to prepay for his own cremation years before actually needed. It was a relief to me as his wife, because after the devastating loss of my husband, this was the LAST thing I wanted to deal with. Everyone was so kind and offered their support as I navigated this whole new world. I can't express how much it meant to me that all my husband's needs were prepaid and taken care of for me, truly the greatest act of love from him. The St. Louis Cremation Services team is a thoughtful, professional place and I recommend it highly as you navigate what you want done -whether it's for you in the future or a loved one.”
