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.

“I located Gashes funeral home about 17 months ago via an online search of a place that would provide the home going services I wanted for my mom. I was planning ahead due to a need and had no idea what to expect. I was surprised and impressed with the professionalism, care and compassion of Bill and the staff in explaining and walking through the process of planning for a love ones final arrangements. He dispelled the mystery and fear and I better understood the importance of of this process. Fast forward to June 2025 and all of the proactive steps in preparing and planning my mom’s celebration of life made sense and made what could have been an extremely devastating time, one of positive reflection, love and celebration of a life full of love, service and compassion that yielded a service that honored my mom’s and my family’s wishes. Peace and Blessings and Thank you Yvette”

“I want to thank Sydney Watts for the way that she and her staff at Gasch's handled all of the logistical details of the funeral. From coordinating with the veteran's cemetery, arranging transportation, to the viewing, everything was handled seamlessly and with the utmost professionalism. Sydney took care of arranging veteran's military honors and ensured that all of our questions were answered. Her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the funeral arrangements was taken care of was deeply appreciated. I would like to say that I would recommend your funeral home to anyone who is in need of these services. You truly went above and beyond, and I am forever grateful for your help during this difficult time.”

“Sydney Watts was very compassionate and attentive. My brother was shot multiple times so there we were, clueless and as first timers making arrangements. Me and my family chose this funeral home for my brother since it was close by back in 2022. I just couldn't pull myself together when we had to choose the casket and discuss other arrangements but Sydney made me and my family feel important. We didn't feel like another number. Sydney Watts was very patient. She gave me water to calm my nerves and told me everything would be alright. I had a mental breakdown when shopping for clothes for my brother and on day of viewing, I will never forget, they had a belt on him. I don't know if they already had one or got one really quick but it didn't occur to me to get the smaller accessories. That marked me for life in a positive way. This funeral home does care for the dignity of the deceased. Sydney Watts stayed with us until burial which I appreciated so much. She felt like a sister for a moment. That is my experience with her and this funeral home. I hope she sees this review. Thank you for taking care of my brother who rests in peace.”
