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
“Thank you Nikki. Your attention to detail is remarkable. Thank you for treating our family with such care. Crippen mortuary has great customer service. We look forward to working with you again.”
— JinniCab
“All the reviews saying that Nikki is rude are so true. She is very confrontational and has zero compassion. She won't even take a message for the manager to rectify their mistake.”
— William M.
“They were very helpful until we were given my Father in Law's Urn. When I called in Oct to make a correction to the plaque on the Urn, Nikki seemed helpful at first, like it was no problem. After a problem with their supplier, Nikki became rude about the corrections. Then ghosted me, and hasn't returned any of my emails or phone calls. I finally just sent her a cancellation email. I will not return here in the future if I lose a loved one.”
