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
“We have used Oakey's pet crematory services a number of times over the years and I cannot express how grateful we are for the compassion and professionalism Marjene showed during such difficult times. Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking, but the staff treated our furry family members with the utmost dignity and respect from start to finish. They were kind, patient, and understanding, taking the time to explain every step of the process and answer all of our questions. The facility was clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully maintained, which gave us a great sense of comfort. The turnaround time was exactly as promised, and our pet’s ashes were returned to us in beautiful urns, carefully prepared and presented with care. They also went above and beyond by providing a paw prints and small clippings of fur as keepsakes. Those thoughtful touches mean more to us than words can express and have brought us real comfort during our times of grief. What truly stood out was their empathy. It never felt transactional — they genuinely cared about helping us honor our pet’s memory. In a moment filled with grief, their warmth and professionalism made a world of difference. I highly recommend their services to anyone facing the loss of a cherished companion. They provide not just a service, but comfort and compassion when it’s needed most.”

“I could not speak more highly of the service I recieved today. From the initial call, to bringing my baby in, the staff was phenomenal. Such care and compassion was shown. They helped me through a very painful and heartbreaking experience. Even the person that does the cremation cleaned up my baby boy so I could see him and say goodbye one last time. I am truly grateful for the people that helped me today.”
— Shelley M
“Thank you so much for giving Bruce the compassion and dignity he deserved. Thank you for being there when I needed someone the most to have Bruce taken care of, so he didn't have to wait until the next morning. He truly was a gift and an angel that I'll never forget.”
