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.

“Walker completed my brother’s, Mother’s and Father’s complete services. He is the most thoughtful, professional who does the complete event with compassion and understanding . I highly recommend this funeral home to provide services in a most difficult time.”
— Nancy Hopkins
“My mother passed suddenly in May and had specified that we contact BCH for her final arrangements. From the moment I made the first shaky phone call, the staff was amazing, taking care of things in the most professional, kind and caring manner, fielding my many questions, facilitating everything that needed to be handled, and treating us, and my mother, with the utmost respect. I cannot recommend J'Anna and Stephanie enough; they exemplify professionalism and kindness. In a terrible situation, they were an anchor, and I cannot thank them enough.”
