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
“The House of Johnson did a wonderful job on my loved one. I never seen such great work before. They were compassionate helpful professional and accommodating. I recommend them to everyone.”
— Richard Carlson
“A family member referred us to The House of Johnson Funeral Home when my brother was tragically murdered out of state. The entire staff showed us so much dignity and compassion during this time of confusion and extreme grief. Due to my brother's injuries we didn't know if we would be able to have an open casket. House of Johnson did an amazing job and we were able to say goodbye to our beloved in peace. From the first telephone call to the last point of contact they were professional and caring. During the viewing they even offered a space where we could have refreshments. We received our thank you cards already addressed and ready to be mailed. That extra touch was like a final hug from the entire staff. Thank you House of Johnson's for a job well done.”
— Melanie
