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 was put in what seemed like an impossible situation in dealing with my Mom and the government. I was told I needed to reach out to a funeral home for help. My family has had several positive experiences with Clifford-Shoemaker, so I reached out. They were EXACTLY what I needed. They were very familiar with my situation and knew just what I needed. My impossible situation was handled seamlessly and I was put at complete ease. When my Mom passed, Steven and his staff again took care of my family's needs and helped us get through the very difficult process. Their professionalism and understanding were very much appreciated. Thank you for providing the excellent customer service that our family needed. I cannot recommend them enough!”
— Mark Hodson
