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.

“We were so blessed to have Tammy and her staff help us though this difficult time!! From start to finish they were kind, patient, professional, understanding and treated us like our Dad and family were all they had to do even though we knew they were busy. Day or night Tammy was there for us with love, hugs and support. I refer to her as "wonder women" as she is just simply amazing! Thank you Tammy and crew for the care you gave to us and our Father.”
— Kelley Brown
“Spencer was so knowledgeable and caring and walked my brothers and me through the whole process. He made changes in Mom's make-up like we asked. He was so professional at the funeral. The video of Mom's life was wonderful. We had a great experience.”
