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
“I never imagined such a peaceful and uncomplicated event. David is amazing at putting people at ease and he runs his business in the same manner. My parents bought a cremation package a couple year’s ago, recently my mom passed and with one phone call everything was put into place and handled professionally and promptly. The care and compassion they showed when taking my mom away will never be forgotten. It gives my dad some peace in knowing he will receive the same respect and attention. I would HIGHLY recommend Boise Funeral Home & Cremation🥰”
— Tracy Neptune
“Thank you for everything. From the moment of our first call for information to the moment my dad passed at home to our family funeral today. David, David, and Todd were genuinely a blessing. David Patterson your preparation of my dad before viewing was so very appreciated. It was commented by my mom that you did such amazing work. "He looked like he did before he became sick". It allowed my mom to remember him as he was before the end and bring a peaceful closure. The setting was perfect and your help in personalizing the arrangement was spot on. Thank you and God bless. Yes, I had read the one star review below before choosing Boise Funeral Home. We also read "all" of the reviews. Google reviews are a double edged sword. You have to read between the lines. I can say specifically that David was gentle, thoughtful, and informative when my dad passed at home at 2 am.”
— Clinton Herrera
