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.

“Recently my family had a loss in our family and with the expert and kind service of Gateway Funeral Home our family member was returned to us in Korea. Without the guidance and great care given to our brother we could not have had him returned to us here. We recognize this was not an easy situation, but you did a great job. He has been laid to his final rest and is at peace. Your continued updates and service will never be forgotten. May you continue to help and comfort those in need. "The Choi Family"”
