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
“My brother made arrangements and paid in full. He wanted cremated immediately. He was cremated 12 days later only after a call from his attorney . Funeral home never returned my phone call. Had to have my brothers attorney call. Waited for his ashes to be sent to me as per his wishes. Waited 13 days and finally called them. They never sent them out. They said they had a note that they were suppose to. Very uncompassionate.”
— Susan
“They handled the direct burial of my veteran brother in August 2025. My brother was estranged from his whole family so I didn't find out about his passing until nearly a month later. I called the funeral home and spoke with Trent, he was extremely compassionate with me, even shared the details of the respectful transportation and final moments of my brother's burial as he took him to the Veteran's cemetery. He also shared precious information about meeting with my brother a couple times prior to his passing to make sure all of his final wishes were carried out. I feel like my brother made a wise choice in choosing them and I really appreciate Trent's kindness.”
— BJ
“I’m a funeral director from Idaho and am so pleased with this funeral home. They are genuine in their willingness to serve—something the world lacks. So refreshing to work with people like this. Thank you so much”
— Stefan Wood
