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
“Mike was such a pleasure to work with. During a time when things were hardest for our family I’m so glad my dad said he wanted to have his service with Fossum. Days leading up to my dads funeral we’re busy and I never worried that Mike would not come through. When I walked in and saw my dad he looked amazing, the last day in the hospital he was so sick, it was breathtaking to see my dad look so good and peaceful. Not only did Fossum do a great job handling my dads entire funeral, Mike showed so much care for us and he truly went above and beyond. Thank you for making my dads final day so beautiful! ❤️”
