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
“Alden-Waggoner was incredibly helpful during the difficult loss of our mother. They worked with us to bury her in accordance with her wishes. Their services were professional and caring. Just what we needed at a tough time.”
— Victoria Rome
“The Alden Waggoner Funeral Chapel and Crematory did a stellar job in helping our family through smoothly preparing our mother's life celebration. The service went smoothly because they are excellent in what they do. A big shout out to Sam, who was kind, patient and was incredible to work with through out the entire time. We highly recommend them - the de Reus family.”
— Michele deReus-McCord
“Sam and his staff at Alden-Waggoner were extremely helpful during an emotional time in our life. They offered advice and recommendations on what was needed and where to get stuff for the service. They were there to walk us through the ceremonies, and it was very comforting to know if we needed anything, they would be there to assist. Speaking from experience, the mind isn’t quite up to par during an emotional event like this and having Alden-Waggoner assisting with funeral arrangements was very much appreciated. My parents had set up a funeral package ahead of time, which made this process so much easier, and I highly recommend to others to do so, if you can. Sam and his staff at Alden-Waggoner can help you in putting a package together.”
