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 dog died suddenly on Christmas day. They were right there for us. Very affordable too. Our own vet said they would charge us a huge amount to cremate him and burns did it for half the price, and we got paw print and everything. This place is family owned and you can tell they care. 3 months later my dad also suddenly passed and I immediately went to them They made everything so easy and took good care of us. They were great to us and I am forever grateful.”
