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 was very pleased with the way the home handled everything in regards to my mom's funeral. However the rabbi that was hired for no reason insulted my sister and I. She referred to us as to being Midwestern bovine in our demeanor. We both took exception to her insensitivity.”
— Michael Rosenthal
“Toale Brothers recently coordinated a graveside service and final arrangements for my elderly mother. Kristine served as our funeral director and I found her to be very professional and empathetic. We were offered a variety of options but not pressured to purchase anything. It is naturally a very sad time but the staff at Toale Brothers eased the process for us. I would recommend them in your time of need.”
— Cindy
“I was there for a beautiful memorial with approximately 200 others. Unfortunately the A/C was either not working or not on. Decor and room dividers need updated. Only one attendant for so many people??”
— Brian Holland
