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.

“Losing my husband was such a confusing time. I was lost and Alex Adams was so helpful. She walked me through the whole process and answered all of my questions. Everyone was so nice and respectful. I was so tickled that our dog was allowed to come to the celebration of life for my sweet Bob. She was his constant companion and definitely a part of our family. I was so relieved that I got help with the life insurance to pay for the celebration. It was one less thing I had to deal with. One of the reasons I chose Erlewein's was an experience I had over 20 years ago. A friend of my son tragically died in a motorcycle accident. There were hundreds of people paying their respect. The mortuary stayed open late into the night making sure everyone was able to pay their respects. The line was all the way outside and it started to rain. They brought out umbrellas for visitors to use. Thank you to this wonderful facility for their kindness and compassion.”
— Mary Lynn Burrows
“Everyone we worked with here was exceptional. They take time to get to know each family and have an exceptional level of detail to the care they provide. They took one of the most challenging things I’ve been through, and made it go as smoothly as possible without any worries. Thank you so much for all you do Alex and team.”
