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
“I made arrangements for my husband and myself 2 years ago. I was so comfortable with the whole process from start to finish. My husband passed January 25, and it was a very snowy day, and they were so kind and respectful. When I went to make the final arrangements the young lady that I worked with was so helpful and kind. She did a perfect job. I did not use the facility. But with what I saw they did a great job.”
— Amy Mayers
