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
“Mrs Starr and Sharon were excellent hosts and very hospitable for the preparing of my daddy Larry James Collins home going celebration. They were more like family then a business, and treated us as such!! Every question and inquiry i had they were on it. I felt a load lift off me with their immaculate, caring, and loving spirits! At Hutchings Funeral Services, you are family and will be treated as such. Without their expertise and knowledge i would not have been able to get thru with this!! Mrs Starr walked me thru every single step of the process. You can tell she loves what she does. She will me there for you day or night literally. Thank you Mrs. Starr and Sharon!!!”
