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.

“Losing a loved one is hard enough—navigating funeral arrangements should not make it harder. I called Stark Funeral Professionals early one morning, unsure and emotionally drained. From that very first phone call, Mike was empathetic, patient, and supportive. He assured me they would handle everything—and they did. Within hours of my cold call, they had scheduled a meeting, welcomed me and my father's partner with kindness, walked us through every step, helped us select urns, explained the process and timing, signed contracts, and accepted payment—all within one hour. Mike even apologized for what I had been through and offered to cover the transfer cost out of pure generosity and compassion. This is what true professionalism and human care look like. Thank you, Stark, for making such a painful process just a little more bearable. I’m so grateful.”
