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 would highly recommend Santangelo Funeral Home in Woodland Park. Emily, Jodie, and Charlie were extremely kind and compassionate during a very difficult time. The funeral home itself was warm and welcoming. Emily was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to all our needs. She handled every detail including the obituary, the service, and the memorial cards. We were treated more like family than clients at the Santangelo Funeral Home.”
