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.

— Holly Bailey
“I was a guest at the Hampton Inn next door that shares the parking lot with this establishment this last weekend, me and my friends were in town from Indiana for Ice Cream Cruise at I-29 Dragway/Raceway Park of the Midlands. I had a truck and lengthy car trailer (40 foot triple axle) parked over the weekend with plenty of parking out front of the hotel as I could not maneuver around the back especially if and when the lot was filled up. A lady from the funeral home did not like how I was parked and asked one of my friends, not me, the actual owner of the truck and trailer, if he could move my truck and trailer for a funeral service that afternoon. I was already parked on the hotel side, the far side of the parking lot away from the funeral home tucked up in the back corner as much as I could, and then while we were unloading the cars a guy comes out and asks another one of my friends, once again not me the actual owner despite being in near vicinity this time and saw the guy walking away after, how much longer until I will be moved. I'm sure the funeral home has accommodated trucks and trailers parked at/for the hotel before and never said anything to them. I felt that was rather inconsiderate of them on both encounters to not ask for the actual owner of the truck and trailer and then try to rush us on the second encounter. This incident is a major contributing factor as to why I may never use that hotel ever again. This incident is in my hotel review as well.”
