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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 cannot express enough gratitude to Kunsak Funeral Home for the exceptional care they provided during the recent passing of my father, Ernest Gubser. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel truly welcomed, offering warmth, compassion, and a genuine sense of comfort. They did an outstanding job preparing my father for the viewing, and their attention to detail was remarkable. He looked peaceful, which meant so much to our family. The service was both intimate and professional, creating a space where our friends and extended family felt comfortable and supported. Many of our family members have trusted Kunsak for years, and it's clear why. The team there has a unique way of making everyone feel at home, no matter the circumstances. Their kindness, professionalism, and dedication go beyond the expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any family in need during such a difficult time.
