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
“Robert and Zoe are amazing! Their team made a difficult time in my life a pleasurable experience. They were extremely professional and took the time to make sure my family was taken care of to the fullest. I left there feeling that my loved one was going to be taken care of. They made me feel comfortable and listened to us. 100% recommend.”

“There are no easy words when you lose someone you love, but the care we received from Robert, Zoe, and the teem, truly made an unbearable time gentler for our family. From the moment we scheduled the meeting, we were met with genuine kindness — not rehearsed sympathy, but real compassion. Every question we had was answered patiently, every concern was handled with respect, and we never once felt rushed or like just another appointment on a schedule. They spoke to us like people, not paperwork. They paid attention to the little things that mattered to us — details we didn’t even realize would mean so much until the day of the service. Because of them, everything felt peaceful and dignified, exactly the way our loved one deserved. In a moment when we were overwhelmed with grief, they quietly carried the weight of the logistics so we could simply be together as a family and remember. That is a gift we will never forget. We are deeply grateful for the heart they put into their work, and we would trust them again without hesitation.”
