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
“I cannot thank the National Cremation Society enough for their guidance during such a difficult time. From the very first call, the staff was compassionate, patient, and truly understanding. They handled every detail with professionalism and dignity, allowing my family to focus on grieving rather than worrying about logistics. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a caring team.”
— Becky Reiss
“My family was treated with the utmost of respect and kindness. We were informed of the current status at the end of each process and explained what was going to happen next. There were no surprises and our experience during this emotional time in our lives was treated with dignity allowing our stress to be focused only where it belonged - on the passing of our loved family member.”
— Steve Brill
“Joe helped us feel comfortable and confident without feeling pushy. He was easy to work with and made our final decisions a pleasant process. It didn't feel like a sales pitch or anything to that extent, it was all about us and what we wanted”
