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 father passed away from terminal camcer. We were children of his first marriage. A "stepchild" overseeing his affairs (since we lived in a different state) viciously told my dad if he had anything more to do with us, that she would no longer speak to him. When my dad died, this funeral home added to our grief by not even having the decency to give us an obituary because that illegitimate relative told them not to. My sister and I provided proof of legal family relationship and begged them for at least an obituary. This funeral home withheld that information (obituary of his interment) to this very day. We were not able to pay or respects and grieve properly. When we first requested information, they pretended like they were going to give it to us, then withheld it. There was no sympathy or compassion. Don't recommend them.”
