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
“The staff at Elzey-Patterson-Rodak was wonderful. During a time of great uncertainty, they were exceptionally supportive, helping us understand what was needed and how to manage the cost of services for my mother. I am deeply grateful for their diligence, professionalism, and compassion.”
— Amanda Bragg
“December 9th, 2 years ago, we lost what would’ve been our beautiful baby girl at just 14 weeks gestation. She would’ve been my second baby and we were over the moon. After there was no heartbeat on the ultrasound, I was flooded with information, none of which I was able to retain. Remembering Rowan covered 100% cost of the cremation for our sweet angel. When asked if we had a preferred funeral home, I chose this one because I’ve had numerous family members put to rest at the hands of these outstanding people. Remembering Rowan and the funeral home made this very seamless. I had to come in to sign paperwork but their ultimate focus was getting me my baby girl back! Our experience with them was nothing short of phenomenal. Nobody wants to lose a child, no matter the age, and they made me feel so comforted, and cared for. I cannot express enough how appreciative I am for the folks that helped us through that tough time. I apologize for the late review! We just moved, I found paperwork and felt in my heart that I needed to share a bit of our story!”
— Alison Frederick
“Autumn was helpful, kind and caring. She was also very respectful and professional. I really appreciate her.”
