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
“We used the Ewing Funeral Home for both my mother and father. Each time they made a sad and overwhelming process simple, but handled with care. Taking care of details so our family could focus attention elsewhere. I can not recommend them more. I hope to never need them again, but if I had need would always go here first.”
— Barrett Schmid
“Abby with Ewing Funeral Home made the planning and conducting of the funeral for our dad so seamless. She was able to handle all the details which freed us up to concentrate our focus on memories of our beloved husband, dad, grandpa and grandpa-great!! From start to finish she was professional and yet compassionate in our grief. She didn’t rush us in decision making yet offered help when asked. The catered dinner afterwards was perfect even down to the special spice cake request!”
— Jane Johnson
“Recently had to make funeral arrangements for my uncle. At first I was very overwhelmed since I’ve never had to make funeral arrangements before. Once I contacted Ewing Funeral Home, Abby agreed to meet with me the very next day. Drove all the way to Mason City, met me at Starbucks, and was very welcoming and kind. Abby, provided me with detailed information, suggestions, and several price quotes. She handled everything for my family and I . After this first meeting I no longer felt overwhelmed; I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders! We liked Abby and Ewing Funeral Home so much, we asked her to be the Official Celebrante for my uncles funeral. Thank you Natalie & Abby. You guys did an amazing job.”
