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
“This is the first time that I really had to handle the details of someone passing away and it is hard. Nicolas made everything so extremely easy and comforting from the moment I met him just hours after my dad had passed away. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than he has helping us through this difficult time. We just went in this morning to talk about the memorial service set for tomorrow and he had everything set up and ready and it all looked beautiful. Believe me, 10 stars would be more appropriate.”
— Jeff Ehlert
“We have had multiple great experiences with the ASW team, most recently with my little sister’s funeral. Everyone was so compassionate, professional, and served with such grace. They took a really difficult time and made it as peaceful as possible. Dallas went above and beyond to serve our family even through his own crisis we were still a priority. He truly cared for us through the process and communicated very well not just through the funeral arrangements but also after. He was very genuine, and treated us with such love and respect. Brandon also was amazing, he was very knowledgeable and answered any question I had. He was so helpful, and very personable. I cannot thank this whole team enough for their kindness, and hard work.”
— Ashley Hamlin
“We unfortunately lost our baby boy way too soon and Michael, Dallas and all the Anderson Stevenson staff made these extremely difficult times so much easier. They took so much stress off our plates and guided us through this whole process. They have been extremely accommodating and gave us some light to our situation and made us feel like we are not alone they truly were there for us 100% and I am and will be forever grateful for their generosity, kindness, guidance and support. Thank you for taking care of our baby and helping us with everything”
