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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“I just want to say how much I appreciate the care that John took with my son and his wife when lost their sweet daughter. He took such great care of them and he went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend them.”
— Renee Hughes
“John went above and beyond for my son's funeral. The slideshow he put together was one of a kind. It was very unique and loved the work he did. I kept sending extra pictures and took physical copies in. He added all of them for me. I texted him almost daily and he always got back to me right away. Everything I asked for, John did it so well. I can't thank him enough for my twenty-four year old son's funeral. Everything was perfect.”
— Diane Phillips
“The death of a loved one is a difficult experience. John was very professional and extremely helpful. He help make a very stressful time as simple and smooth as possible. He was responsive to all my communications and able to accommodate my families needs. Cost is never something that you want to think of at a time like that but Bach-Yager is also very reasonable. I reccomend them to anyone looking for a place to take care of their loved ones final arrangements with care and respect.”
— Earl Salmons
