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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 highly recommend this wonderful family owned business that treats you and your deceased loved ones like their own family. My Mama passed during Christmas week and the words comfort and joy are so fitting to describe this experience. Joe's expertise brought comfort in knowing she was receiving much care and respect. Mom's sister also passed during this time and arrived while Mom was still there. Once advised of their close relationship, Joe moved them closer together, which brought our family joy knowing they weren't there separate and alone. I will always remember Joe's kindness and compassion with heartfelt gratitude.”
