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
“After my mother had passed away, from start to finish the entire experience was fantastic. From the private viewing being set up on a holiday no less, to her being cremated and the funeral. The staff did so well preparing my mother for her viewing and were very personable and assisted us through the whole process. Then when it came time for the cremation we were walked through the process and what to expect and then the funeral. The staff was there every step of the way and anything we needed they would help without any hesitation. All questions were answered in a timely manner and in general a great experience for a large grieving family.”
— Lihanna Lush
“When my mother passed away the staff and services here were a godsend. Would not have made it through the whole process without their professionalism and help through the process of taking care of a loved one. A lot was done through another family member but any and all questions we had as well as updates each step of the way gave us solace our mom was going to be taken care of a given the respect she deserved.”
— braedi swift
