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
“Disorganized, argumentative, priced outrageously, no respect for our veterans, and all around shameful company. Not only did they lose plot information, that was literally in front of Adrian (Ade), but felt compelled to argue with a 91 year old woman about it. It wasn’t until everyone at the table collaboratively told Ade it existed. Miraculously the document appeared in front of her. Then they pulled some BS story about how each plot already had a vault. Which I don’t believe to be true at all. We explained we had a veteran one picked out and Ade said they would charges us more if we decided to use it. Stick it to the veterans family. Thanks! There is NO WAY they have vaults in every unoccupied spot. WARNING: Predators. I would give the grounds keepers 5 stars, though! Merry Christmas, Ade.”
— Honest Review
“Our family was so pleased with the service and kindness we received following my husbands passing. Alex was exceptional with details and always had extra time to explain each step of the process. She was always quick to answer emails and text from me or any other family member. Prairie Waters event center was the perfect place to hold the calling. It was beautiful and peaceful with all the windows and balcony looking out over the water. It was set up by Alex and her staff with all my husbands pictures and memorabilia in a very appealing way. She even went above and beyond to make the small yellow roses with the grandkids and grand pups names on them personally so they could keep them as a remembrance of my husband. The church service was lovely as well as the burial at the cemetery. Every person we were in contact with for the two days were very professional and helpful. My family and I were very impressed as well as other guests. Thank you for making this experience during such a difficult time a pleasant one. Karin Jacob 💕”
