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
“This was my first experience having to bury someone. I called a few funeral homes and decided on Skyway mostly because Shawn & Greg were so helpful in honoring all of my mothers wishes and I am so grateful doing everything they could to stay within our budget. This has been the worst week of my life but Shawn & Greg made it a little bit better and I am very thankful. I understand now why so many of my family members have buried loved ones here.”
— Nicholas McKenzie
“I would like to give 10 stars! Our funeral director Scott Countryman went above and beyond to make sure that after my Mother’s passing everything went perfectly! Scott was accommodating, kind and professional!”
— katherine Travisono
