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
“An East Coast resident, I recently had to plan funeral services for a family member in Columbus, Ohio. The trusted heads of a Columbus-area nonprofit strongly recommended Egan-Ryan. I am very glad that I followed their advice. I worked with Kevin Ryan who greatly simplified my task. He was knowledgeable, well-organized, and trustworthy. He carefully explained every element of the process, described options, and made recommendations that turned out, in every case, to be impeccable. He consistently pointed out the most economical way to accomplish the family’s goals. He adjusted to our somewhat unusual requirements, including holding the viewing at the church on the night before the Requiem Mass. On a personal level, Mr. Ryan was calm, caring, and professional. He was reachable and responsive at all hours. He handled last-minute changes and new requests with equanimity. He met every milestone and conducted every event in an orderly, timely, and peaceful manner. Sensing that we were in good hands, we, along with family and friends, were able to focus on saying farewell to someone we loved. I can’t imagine receiving better guidance and service from a funeral home and a funeral director.”

“Egan-Ryan staff are very caring and professional. Funeral Director Bob Ryan guided me through the steps of burying a loved one. He was compassionate and thorough and I was very pleased with my husband's wake and funeral. I will never use any funeral home other than Egan-Ryan.”
