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.

“I can not express the care and love that they (Tyrone Speaks) took with my family. If I could give him 10 stars I would. My brother passed away in January of 2026 in Atlanta and Tyrone took so much care, time, and patience sending him to Chicago for us. Every funeral home in America need to take notes from Tyrone on how to handle a grieving family. My deepest appreciation to Speaks Funeral Home (Tyrone Speaks) on a great job that was done for the Woods family in Chicago.”
