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
“Burns & Kish Funeral Home provided exceptional care and support during my father's funeral. From the initial planning to the service itself, their team was compassionate, professional, and attentive to every detail. Brian made an incredibly difficult time easier for my family by ensuring everything was handled with the utmost respect and care. What truly sets them apart is their follow-up service. Even after the funeral, they reached out to check on our family and offered additional support. This thoughtful gesture shows their genuine commitment to the families they serve. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding service provided by Burns & Kish Funeral Home. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate and reliable support during such a challenging time.”

“My sister recently lost her husband and used Burns Kish in Hammond. I can not thank this funeral home enough. The service was beautiful and they did a great job with my sister's husband. This place is beautiful, clean and has a lot of space. The people who work here were so professional, friendly and sensitive to my sister's loss. Lorraine and Apollo are amazing human beings who made this process for my sister easier than expected. I would give 100 stars if I could. We are all so grateful and appreciate all who were involved.”

“I had a service done at this location for my father that passed away in September. Recommend by a family friend. If i could give more stars i would. They treated us so well and took care of everything i couldn’t of had asked for a better service. And the workers were very nice and understanding. They were able to transport my dad to Mexico without any problems as well. I most definitely recommend this funeral home it gives the comfort you need while going through ruff times.”
