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
“Affordable Cremations recently cremated my mother and I could not be more pleased with the service. Doug and Kelly were super compassionate and communicative, helping me with every step of the process at a reasonable price. They made sure my wishes were met and that consent was asked for in the case of third-party needs. All in all, a pleasant experience during quite the trying time.”
— Jason Foxworth
“IN MY TIME OF NEED, THEY HELPED ME PUT MY SISTER TO REST. JOE, THE OWNER AND I ENDED UP BECOMING THE BEST OF FRIENDS. GO HERE BEFORE A FUNERAL HOME. YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.”
— IN HIS SERVICE GOD IS
“My mother recently passed and wanted to be cremated no funeral. Hospice had given me a list of companies they have worked with and we chose Affordable Cremations of Oak Lawn. They were very nice, comforting and professional people to work with in a very difficult time. They took very good care of our mom and us for that matter. Joe met with us after normal hours to give us the ashes and talked to us for a while, very nice family to work with. I hope to not need their services again for a while but I highly recommend them and most definitely would use them again. Thank you Affordable Cremations!”
