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
“I had a few moment before a VA appointment for my Husband and we decided to stretch our legs. Lovely walk”
— Amy Mathison-Start
“I was walking by this cemetery one day, and noticed something on the ground just inside the fence. It was a dead chicken! Not chicken parts, a whole dead chicken, head and all! I managed to find some workers, and brought one guy over, who didn't believe me when I told him what I saw. When I got him over there, he saw the chicken, (I won't repeat what he said), and he cleaned it up. I wondered if there was someone in the area doing Santeria rituals, or if someone was doing Santeria rituals, were they from somewhere else, and was just driving by and threw the chicken out. Otherwise, the cemetery is clean and a nice place to get some silence and solace.”
— Kathy Brundidge
“A small cemetery with some interesting stones”
— Bill Ellis
