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
“My family and I are truly grateful to the staff at Myrhum-Patten for helping with the process of burying my mother in a way that both supported us and honored my mother. We appreciated that they contacted us at night to let us know that her body was at the funeral home after she died at the hospital. The next day they met with us and helped us plan a truly personalized and meaningful gravesite funeral service, including managing all communications and questions for the cemetery. They were at the funeral and made sure that everything was perfect. Their entire staff were professional, efficient, caring, and kind. We highly recommend Myrhum-Patten and appreciate their services and support during a difficult time for our family.”
— Rebecca Vaughn Larcheid
“We cannot say enough good things about everyone at Myhrum/Patten. Matt and Lee provided such caring personalized attention and took care of many details that we never would have remembered on our own. The slideshow they helped us with was a beautiful memorial to our mother. We truly appreciate everything they have done for us.”
— Ann W
“The staff at MP did everything to make a difficult and sad process as smooth and efficient as possible. Their attention to detail was excellent and they were always one step ahead when it came to providing resources and getting ready for the day of the funeral. Everyone was very kind and compassionate and concerned that my husband’s funeral was the celebration of life that we wanted. On the actual day, their staff were amazing, organized and supportive and open to last minute requests. Everything went well, the chapel was beautiful, the visitation a wonderful time of sharing and the reception a lovely time of fellowship and remembrance. I recommend MP to everyone looking for a group of people who are really going to care about you and celebrating the loved one that you have lost in the absolute best way possible.”
