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.

They will walk you through the process and answer any and all questions without rushing.”

“My husband of 52 years died rather suddenly in December. Ohio Creamation and Memorial Society was recommended to us by 3 friends. My kids and I decided to check them out and found them to be prompt, professional and caring. They explained everything that would happen and gave us unpressured choices on each step. Their prices were quite reasonable. We decided to use their services and are glad we did. I highly recommend Ohio Creamation and Memorial Society in Columbus, Ohio.”
— R Browning
“My family’s experience with Ohio Cremation & Memorial Society was exceptional. Given the situation we were moving through and not just the passing of one loved one but two within three months of each other, we could not have asked for better support from this group. All of the staff and director were personable, caring emphatic, and knowledgeable of Ohio’s laws and our questions. For simple services and needs and for preplanning and guidance through the legal processes of end of life, I would highly recommend Ohio Cremation & Memorial Society a million times over.”
