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 can't thank Melissa, Richard, and Christian enough for the compassion and support they provided during one of the most difficult times in my life. From the moment we began the process of cremating my father, they were kind, professional, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. Melissa was warm and understanding, always ready to answer questions and guide me gently through the process. Richard offered thoughtful insights and made sure all the details were taken care of with care and respect. Christian was equally kind and attentive, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and with dignity. They truly made a difficult experience so much easier to bear, and I’m deeply grateful for their support. Their compassion and professionalism made all the difference. Down the road when my Mother passes we will definitely use their services again. Thank you for taking great care of my father, and our family!”
