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
“Trostel, Chapman, Dunbar & Fraley Funeral Home has gone above and beyond over the last 12 months since my husband passed. From making the arrangements to the celebration of life and now, the aftercare, the staff has been kind, caring, professional and supportive. I have received numerous text messages and cards at every milestone. One for my husbands birthday, Christmas and even for his one year angel birthday. I received a personalized ornament for Christmas. The staff has made me, and my husband, feel important and they remember all the important dates too! I highly recommend them for when you many need funeral home services for someone you love. You will be in good hands during your challenging time in choosing Trostel, Chapman, Dunbar & Fraley Funeral Home. (Pic of the ornament and the cover of the guest book I chose for the celebration of life service.)”

“Most of my family funerals have been held here but when my Dad unexpectedly passed away and my Mom, my brother & I had to go in to plan my father’s funeral, it was different. Megan Estep was absolutely amazing. She was in no hurry whatsoever. She was kind and patient and compassionate which we really appreciated and acknowledged. I most definitely recommend them. Thank you so much!”

“Trostel, Chapman, Dunbar, and Farley Funeral Home recently took care of my Dad's funeral and they did an amazing job. They took care of my dad with the upmost care, as well as our family. They went above and beyond to make sure our needs for my dad's funeral/viewing was met. I received several calls from them just to check in on my family to make sure we were ok and that our needs were being met. They also called me during this time to see if my family needed anything. But what touched me more than anything was a text I received a year later still checking on our family and to see if we needed anything and to just let us know they were still thinking of us. I will continue to recommend Trostel, Chapman, Dunbar, and Farley to friends and family for their loved ones celebration of life services.”
