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.

“The environment these veterans at Shappers are having to live, is not how they should end their life.. Us vet wives would really appreciate an update on moving to the new building and what the hold up is ? Thank you.”
— Jan Ewalt
“I notice most all reviews are at least a year or more ago. I would like to see more recent reviews..My husband has been a resident for 8 months. I have been told the service and facilities have really gone down. I don’t have anything to compare to. If that is the case what can be done about it.”
— Jaclyn Farmer
