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
“Joe is an amazing person. He took care of everything my daughter and I needed. I was very impressed when I was told that due to the delicate situation which led us to seek service here our services were going to be free. Joe is kind and professional and I would recommend him to anyone who is grieving. He helped my daughter order and fill a necklace and a little urn. These items were also at no cost to us. Just writing this makes me tear up. Thank you for helping my daughter through her healing process.”
— Destiny Harris
“I am upset beyond belief! This is how we received my father in law today. His remains were shipped to Michigan. You should be ashamed!”
— Valarie Plenda
“The people at Big Sky Cremations are amazing. Very hospitable, nice, and caring. Dallas was the curator for my Sisters viewing. We were allowed to decorate and many of our wishes were met. The ceremony was beautiful, and Dallas was there whenever we needed him. Thanks again Big Sky Cremations for such a beautiful moment. I highly recommend!”
