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.

“Steverson, Hamlin & Hilbish Funerals and Cremations provided exceptional care during a very difficult time for our family. From our first meeting, Matt and Eric were terrific—clear in their explanations, patient with our questions, and genuinely focused on making sure we were comfortable with every step of the process. Their professionalism and compassion meant so much. Brenda and Yvonne were equally wonderful. They were consistently communicative, attentive, and extremely helpful throughout everything. Their support made a challenging time feel far more manageable. The entire team delivered exactly what they promised—timely, caring, and thoughtful service from beginning to end. We are truly grateful for their dedication and kindness. They made an incredibly hard period easier, and we can’t thank them enough.”
