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
“My mother recently passed and she pre-paid for ALL of her needs with explicit directions. Having gone through this just 2 years ago with my father she knew exactly what to do to make it easy for me. It started off with nobody knew how much she paid, a lot of confusion. Once they somewhat figured that out I’ll say it went pretty smooth until the day before the service. I stopped by to pick up mom’s ashes and it made me realize, the pastor had yet to contact me. There were specific instructions for who she wanted to conduct the service, his phone number and pre-paid. In the 2 weeks leading up to, even though they said multiple times they would, nobody called him. Of course he was not available on such short notice so they managed to get another guy. (Who btw knows nothing about our family, has never met us and is of a different denomination completely) Needless to say the service was very impersonal and drifted off into sermon a couple of times that was not at all what we were there for. Had I not inquired last minute just to make sure, we would have had nobody there and that truly upset me.”
— Chris Bratager
“We cannot thank Callahan Edfast Mortuary enough for their kindness and compassion. From the very first conversation to the final service, the staff went above and beyond our expectations to support our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. Kamdynn’s service was truly exceptional — her warmth, patience, and genuine care brought us comfort when we needed it most. She listened closely to our wishes, guided us with compassion, and handled every detail with such thoughtfulness and respect. Because of her dedication, our loved ones were honored beautifully. The professionalism and empathy shown by the entire team, especially Kamdynn, meant more to us than words can express.”
— Leslye Rosales
“We cannot tell you how amazing Kamdyn was! She turned a tragedy in our family into something beautiful. We could not have asked for better customer service, a more beautiful funeral service or better communication. She walked us through unknown territory with compassion and grace! I will never go elsewhere if/when I need to do services for family again!”
