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
“Awful. Last February they absolutely botched my brothers restoration, he looked terrible, not at all how he looked alive, the makeup was horrible and you could see whatever type of glue they use to keep his eyes shut. It was so bad it had to be made a private ceremony. We paid up front for everything including urns which we did not receive and my mother had to track down his ashes in another city because they never sent them back after he was cremated. Do not trust this place with your loved ones. Beyond disrespectful to the deceased.”
