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.

“After attending a few funerals at Avery-Storti, knowing the layout and location made choosing them for my father’s cremation and memorial service an easy decision. Sierra and the team were truly a delight to work with. The space was welcoming and warm at a time where the world felt so empty. Making decisions while grieving is incredibly difficult, but the team was consistently supportive and helpful in the most gentle and compassionate ways. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family in need of compassionate care.”
