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
“Patience & understanding is something a funeral home should have. We had our fathers wake here & now my mothers recently. That will be the last time I EVER use Clancy’s. We had to go back to pick up pictures and flowers & were left to deal with a VERY ignorant female employee. Standing there with her arms crossed because it was a little past closing time. And every response she gave to us was quick and ignorant. You just made $10,000 in one day… A few extra minutes shouldn’t be such a big deal. Then we had people from the other funeral going on there coming into our “kitchen” area and eating and drinking our food. With all of the Clancy staff there I’m not sure how they couldn’t keep this in order. How disappointing! I’m grateful I don’t live in Bourbonnais So I won’t ever have to deal with them again.”
— Megan Powell
“Losing my father was one of the hardest moments of my life, but the team at Clancy Gernon made the experience more bearable with their compassion and care. From the very beginning, every detail was handled with such thoughtfulness and understanding. The staff treated our family with kindness and respect, and it truly felt like they were walking alongside us through the process. Their gentle guidance and professionalism allowed us to focus on honoring my dad’s memory without the stress of logistics or uncertainty. I’m deeply grateful for the support they gave us during such a painful time. Clancy Vernon provided more than just a service—they provided comfort, and I will always remember that. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and dignified care.”
