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
“We would like to thank Chris and everyone at Dokken-Nelson for the kindness and thoughtfulness shown to our family during this difficult time. You made planning the service for our beloved Mom so much easier. Your professionalism and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We are truly grateful! Thank you!”
— Lorinda Edwards
“Eventually we will all need the services as provided by Dokken-Nelson. I cannot speak more highly of their entire team. Initially I brought my daddy's ashes from another state and they facilitated having Parting Stones made. And upon my mother's death most recently, they provided great comfort and care to me. The help provided through live streaming also gave my mom's friends and families in WV the opportunity to watch and collectively grieve with us. Bailey has been a real gem to work with directly.”
— Lisa Small
“Our family had the pleasure of working with Bailey while we prepared for the death of our mother/grandmother/wife, through the funeral, and the burial. She was compassionate, prompt, detail oriented, efficient, prepared, and professional. We could not have been more pleased! We would highly recommend Dokken-Nelson Funeral Service.”
