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 recently had the experience of working with Chomko Funeral Home during a very challenging time for my family. From the moment we walked through the door, we were met with warm smiles and genuine compassion. Everyone there went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled with care and respect. Andy and Ed guided us through the entire process, offering support and understanding without being pushy. They took the time to listen to our wishes and helped us create a beautiful tribute to my grandmother that truly reflected her life and spirit. The facilities were impeccably maintained, providing a serene and comforting atmosphere for our family and friends. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail in the arrangements, from the floral displays to the picture slideshow they created that made the service feel special. I also appreciated the transparency regarding costs and options, which made decision-making easier during such an emotional time. They were respectful and professional, yet they also felt like an extension of our own family. I cannot thank Andy and Ed at Chomko Funeral Home enough for their kindness and support. They made a difficult situation more bearable, allowing us to focus on celebrating our loved one’s life. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need.”
