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
“They were very helpful and friendly... Made you feel part of their family, not just a client... Yes, the process may be a bit slow, but because of State and Country regulations, things can be that way! (It's not helpful that all Death Certificates have to come Austin only, which can take even longer now with Government Shutdowns... Yes, Federal Shutdown effects States, because they rely on Federal Funds to keep programs running!)”
— Steven Anderson
“Rader Funeral home took such great care of our family throughout every step of the funeral process for our beloved husband and father. They treated us like family, were so caring and supportive, and even followed up to check on us after the funeral was over. We can’t recommend them enough!”
