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
“Bob and Donna were both extremely helpful in planning and executing my father's service. The Home itself is beautiful and very spacious. I also have to say they both have went above and beyond after the service in helping me grieve and providing resources. They are a caring, professional, prompt and adept team. Bob also does an excellent job explaining all options and decisions. I would recommend them 10 time out of 10.”

“I am truly grateful for the exceptional service provided by the Sinnott Funeral Home in Albia, IA. Bob was so responsive from my initial inquiry and throughout the process of obtaining after life care for my father.

I felt completely taken care of by both Bob and Abigael and the process seemed so much less daunting because of their service. Thank you, Sinnott Funeral Home”
