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
“There aren't enough words that I could say to express my appreciation for Vanessa and Newell-Hoerling Mortuary. When my sister passed they arrived professionally dressed and compassionate to her passing. I was kept informed throughout the process. I was most impressed that they always referred to her by name. When called to pick up her ashes, Vanessa said you can pick up Markie. When I arrived, Vanessa had taken the time to set up her ashes with flowers and candles. This was a surprise to me, as she did it out of kindness. I had not paid extra for it. Thank you Vanessa for your kindness to me and my sister.”

“Vanessa Pedrotti was amazing to work with. I am thankful for her great care throughout the process. After my father passed we started with another provider in Centralia. It was a nightmare and getting worse by the minute. I called Vanessa on a Friday afternoon and met with her the following Monday. She got everything back on track quickly. From the minute I talked with her I felt more at ease and it got easier the more we worked together. I am so grateful for her care and planning in taking care of my father and all the details along the way. She even took pictures and video (with my permission) during the service which will provide for lasting memories for years to come. Thank you Vanessa, for making a very sad and emotionally charged time stress free.”

Vanessa, THANK YOU FOR THE CARE OF MY FATHER AND KEEPING US UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS! 🙏 Blessed beyond!!!!
