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

— R Schultz
“This business has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. These people know that they are dealing with customers wresting with grief and going through some of the hardest times, yet they talk to their customers like they are annoying them . I had to meet with them before the viewing of my family member to sign paperwork, and any question I asked must of been the dumbest question they ever heard of and gave unnecessary attitude in their answers. When we come back to the viewing, the body looked horrible! He was darker, looked swollen, and looked like he took a bath filled with vaseline. When we asked if we could take some of the moisturizer off, the worker said “what, you want him to look ashy?”— just extremely defensive and tactless in the situation. Please please please do not take your loved one here!! They will not treat you or the deceased with the respect your family deserves.”
— Daija Boyd
