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
“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the staff—especially Robert, Pam, and Amy—for their extraordinary kindness, attentiveness, and compassion. From the very beginning, they were completely in tune with our family’s individual needs and made us feel genuinely supported during such a difficult time. They truly went above and beyond to help us personalize my grandmother’s funeral in a way that truly honored who she was. Their thoughtful idea to incorporate what she loved most about life into her service were so dear and thoughtful. Our thoughts and their vision made the service feel warm, meaningful, and incredibly special. Every detail they helped us create felt intentional and heartfelt, and their gentle guidance brought us so much comfort. We are deeply appreciative of their professionalism, empathy, and care. We even received a personal card from Robert after the services. Thank you, Robert, Pam, and Amy, for helping us celebrate my grandmother’s life in such a beautiful and personal way.”

“Temples Halloran recently assisted our family following the passing of our mother. We worked with Amy Bryant, who was incredibly helpful, informative, and compassionate. We are so appreciate of her kindness and attention to detail in every aspect of our interactions. Amy and Temples Halloran made a true difference for our family in a difficult time in our lives. We are confident you will find the same to be true for your family.”
— Lindsey Family
“Amy and Tally went above and beyond at my dear friend’s funeral on Saturday, November 22, 2025. A local florist was supposed to put some special roses in an arrangement that was delivered but had failed to do so. Amy and Tally didn’t hesitate to drop everything and go out to get the roses (at their own expense) to put me at ease at a very difficult time. What was a small gesture to them meant the world to me. Thank you so much!”
