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
“Gina and her team took excellent care of us. I would highly recommend their services. While this was a sad time for our family, Runge made it easier to handle.”
— Tannette Henson Weitlauf
“Todd was very friendly and professional. Listened to my wants and needs and willing to go back several times so I could fit my financial needs into a nice funeral. Never pressing that I had to purchase anything. It was my choice. I did this after attending a Lifetime Planning Workshop at church where information about Senior Living, Wills/Financial planning, Funeral arrangements and Christian funeral services were shared, it made me think about what I should plan for now. I'd highly recommend that at least you let Todd share with you about possible arrangements.”
— Kay Berry
