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.

“I would highly recommend Advantage Funeral and Cremation Services to anyone looking for after life care. I chose them because I knew one of their employees from another death in 2021. So I messaged her and she had moved here. Abi was and is the best. She has always gone above and beyond for my family and taking the worry and stress off my shoulders during this difficult time of losing my father. She handled my son’s death in 2021 and she is the sweetest, kindest and most caring individual in the business. So if you need any services or just want to start planning please get ahold of Abigail Sitzman. She will go above and beyond for your loved one and for your whole family.”
