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 wanted to thank Mr. Menard and his caring team for the way my loved ones service was handled. The empathetic staff ensured every detail was handled exactly as I had requested. Being in Funeral Service myself I had very high expectations and I was not disappointed. I was disturbed by a review from about 1 year ago, it saddens me knowing this business has to count on many separate entities for things to go smoothly, they become the victim of a bad review. About 1 year ago we were in the beginning of a pandemic and I am sure that played a part in filings and paperwork. If I could give this business more than 5 stars I would. Lori D.”

“I cannot say enough about this funeral home when we lost our beloved son in law . Mr. Menard and staff were there for us and so understanding of the grief our family was enduring. There was not one request that was not met with total compassion and sympathy. We were treated like family which meant so much to all of us. A five star is not enough for this family that owns this funeral home. They deserve an A plus.”
