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.

“Trimble was a FABULOUS experience! Fast, efficient, quick response time, VERY thorough! They took the time to listen and understand. They also offer the ENTIRE spectrum of keepsakes available with an easy purchase process. They wrote to obituary with the facts we shared, called the church, cemetery.... made ALL the arrangements! It was an ABSOLUTELY seamless process, taking care of all the logistics and taking the burden off the entire family! I will never consider anywhere else! Thank you Trimble for being so amazing during the hardest of times!”
