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
“Seven years ago we met with Mark to pre plan my mother’s funeral. I was surprised at how emotional that was for me and how kind, caring and patient he was. Last month, my mother passed and Mark was there helping my family to navigate this difficult process. All our wishes and requests were not only granted but his workmanship was superior in every aspect. I would highly recommend Mark to care for your loved one.”
— Rexann Paul
“Leverington Funeral Home of the Northern Hills has been absolutely phenomenal. Mark has been extremely professional and has eased a lot of the burden that is associated with the loss of a loved one. Our family’s first experienced this wonderful, caring person and business was with the passing of my Mother Peggy Kidd in 2007. From the first moment that we sat down with Mark Leverington, he made it so very easy on our family at our worst possible time. Nothing has changed with the passing of my Father Lauren Kidd. Thank you to Leverington Funeral Home and Mark Leverington for their continued professionalism and careful handling.”
