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
“They were great at helping me thru the process of planning my brother’s funeral. It was a small funeral, I loved the box with the cross on it. Simple but nice. The follow up of care was also helpful. The person I talked to was very nice and compassionate. Thank you”
— Vicky Bender
“A day before my wife passed I was very upset that I had to go through the process of getting a hold of Minnesota Cremation but the following day when my wife passed I was so glad that I did and had it done because all I had to do then is have the hospice make one phone call and they came and got her and started the Process of getting the body ready for Cremation and also for the celebration of life. I was so happy that I took care of that ahead of time and they made it easy.”
— Paul Garay
