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
“Great service and exceptionally friendly. The process was smooth and so many details handled. Could not have asked for a better experience at a difficult time. Sherri was amazing to work with.”
— Jennifer Ecker
“I have never met such nice people in my life. My mom passed away, and being so young I’ve never had to plan a funeral service before. Kacey was IMMENSELY helpful to us girls, didn’t make any decisions for herself, yet guided us into the right direction, all while keeping consistent contact with us, even just to ensure we were doing okay. She cared so much for our well being and took such beautiful care of our mother, even painted her nails red for us upon our request, before we saw her. These people here go above and beyond to help you. I am baffled at how big their hearts are, and how much effort they put in to make a family feel comfortable in such an obvious uncomfortable time. Any time anyone needs a recommendation for a service to go through for their loved ones, I will never NOT recommend shimon. Kacey, we are so grateful for you and everything you do. You are such a beautiful person, we couldn’t have done this without your help. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
— Autumn Sauer
