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
“The people we worked with at Austin Cremations were amazing during such a difficult time. Each person we corresponded with was so thoughtful, gentle and caring and really gave us the time we needed to make decisions that we felt would honor our loved one. I am so grateful for their team.”

“Brian and the entire staff were very courteous, professional and kind. We had to make arrangements long distance and everyone I spoke to on the phone when I needed to consult were very understanding of the fact that we were hundreds of miles away. I can just imagine how much easier they would have made such a difficult time more bearable had we met them in person. Thank you.”
— TA Reynolds
