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.

“When my son, Sebastian passed away, I was completely broken. During this most painful time of my life, Emmerson Bartlett Memorial Chapel—and especially Christian—showed my family extraordinary compassion and care. Christian was an incredible support through it all. He treated my son with dignity, tenderness, and genuine love, and he treated me with patience and understanding when I could barely function. His calm presence, gentle guidance, and attention to every detail brought comfort during moments that felt unbearable. I never felt rushed , pressured, or alone. Because of Christian, I was able to focus on honoring my son rather than worrying about arrangements. I will always be grateful for the care he gave to Sebastian and to our family. I am so thankful that Christian has shared his true gift with us during this difficult time. I whole heartedly recommend Emmerson Bartlett Memorial Chapel, and especially Christian, to anyone facing the loss of a loved one. 💔💔💔”
