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
“If you have ever been the one to make arrangements after your loved one's passing, I'm sure you are familiar with the chaotic haze that you would find yourself in. In the midst of this overwhelming grief, there is so much to do in a very short amount of time. This is where Mark Tobie comes in. The Brown family can't thank you enough for everything you did for us. With Mom's passing, from start to finish, you gave us 100% of your time, effort and compassion. Mom looked very beautiful and she looked to be sleeping peacefully. You did a fabulous job and I honestly can't thank you enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Pattie Brown”

“On behalf of our family I would like to thank Mark for the planning and execution of the funeral Service for our father John F. Behan. He was very understanding and patient in helping my mother and family through a very difficult time. He also took the time to help our mother with some of the other issues that come along with the death of a loved one other than the funeral arrangements. He also showed great compassion and professionalism and his attention to detail with the arrangement of rooms to include the pictures and video collage and arranging for the Color Guard since our father was a army veteran ensured that it was a very heartfelt and touching experience for those who attended. Thank You Mark to you and your staff. Your Compassion, Professionalism and Service was much appreciated.”

“Mark was very helpful planning my fathers funeral. He did a good job of explaining the process with me. And once I decided on the service I wanted, he very quickly arranged everything. The service went very smoothly and I appreciate him facilitating everything. Besides that, it is a very nice home. Clean and well put together. And he set it up well for a Christian service. He was very transparent with his pricing and I believe it was a reasonable price.”
