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 have used Heritge Funeral Home twice, once for my mom over a year ago and for my father a week ago. They were so friendly, insightful, personable. They made the transition so smooth for me with living in another state can be hard. They were on point from the beginning till the end. I felt like they were also my family. Thank you Sarah for all your work. The celebration came out beautifully. I would recommend Heritage Funeral Home 💯.”
— Linda Mercado
“Our son’s death was sudden and since he was a source of so much love to our family, very hard on us. I am a Catholic deacon and am part of many funerals each year, so I knew Heritage would be more than just a funeral home. They stepped in took care of everything they could, and for those things we had to do, their nudges were thought out and gentle. In a very little time they listened and embraced our story and helped us create a gentle memory, and an amazing hug for our son. We are more than thankful.”
— James Banach
“What a caring and compassionate experience! I lost my dad which was very painful and traumatic but Caitlyn at Heritage was there to guide me through the most difficult time. I highly recommend this funeral home to anyone. My father deserved the best and with Heritage he got that and more. I appreciate the entire staff at Heritage for making me feel comfortable in what was a highly emotional time in my life. Thank you!”
