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
“Messinger’s made a very difficult time for me with my father’s passing, a peaceful experience. All of the folks I worked with made this transition as good as it could possibly be. I am so grateful for their sincere compassion and willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate my wishes. I highly recommend Messinger’s for these challenging times.”
— Rex Peterson
“I recently used Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary for the memorial services of a loved one. I worked with Greer Van Zantan. The whole process was handled with such dignity and respect. Greer and the entire Messinger family were wonderfully accommodating during our time of grief. They were patient and understanding and provided us with outstanding service. We held the memorial at their chapel and they accommodated a private family viewing and a public viewing before the memorial service. Never once did we feel rushed as they gave us the time we needed. I appreciated the last minute help by Greer to put together a slide show and arrange for live streaming of the service. I couldn’t have picked a better mortuary. They were outstanding.”
— Colleen Ruyter
“I want to express my deep gratitude to Kendal and the entire staff at Messinger Pinnacle Peak for taking great care to ensure the service for my husband was the best it could be. Kendal listened attentively and was very empathic from the moment we met to discuss arrangements, and many emails later, to the day of the memorial. We had some minor issues with our photos, probably from the poor prints we were submitting, but Kendal patiently attended to every detail to make sure everything went according to our wishes. She was helpful in every way from securing a deacon, videographer, flowers, urn, color guard to the music choices. We received many compliments on the service and can honestly say I wouldn't have changed a thing.”
