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
“In June, we lost our beautiful six-year-old daughter. It was sudden, unexpected, and devastating. As her mother, I was in complete shock and some days, I still am. I literally dropped her off at school one day and a week later was at Bean planning her celebration. In the midst of that heartbreak, Bean helped us in ways I will never forget. They created a truly beautiful Celebration of Life for our daughter. Carolina, the director, is so extraordinary. She helped us with compassion and genuine care that was not only extended to us, but to my daughter as well. I often feel that my daughter placed the right people in our path to carry us through our darkest days, and Carolina was one of them. I’m still in tears writing this, but it matters to me to share how much their kindness meant to our family. Bean showed us a level of support and humanity that deserves to be recognized. I would recommend them without hesitation, every single time. It’s more than a business to them and it shows.”

“I selected Bean Funeral Home when I lost my husband solely because I live close by. I’m certain I made the best decision. I met Tyler Stanton who kindly and patiently guided me and my daughters through the steps we. needed to follow. I am very satisfied with everything Bean did for us during those difficult days and continue to do. Caitlin, from Bean, contacted me to see how I was doing and offered help and resources to continue support as I navigate my new life journey.”
