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 am so thankful for the services provided at the time of our loss. My brother passed away in Billings and they picked up his body for cremation, sent his belongings to his son, provided Certified Copies of the Death Certificate, and contacted Social Security. On top of all of this, they graciously held the ashes for a few weeks while we were making interment arrangements. All of this at a VERY reasonable price which was such a benefit to the family as my brother left no funds for expenses. My family is very appreciative of the services provided and I highly recommend them.”
— Marilyn Sullivan
“I can’t possibly leave enough stars for what a blessing this company was to my family. Thank GOD for the service they provide, in our case there weren’t funds left for cremation of an estranged relative and when I called around for prices they ranged from $1,800 (and that was just the starting point) to well over $4,000. This can put quite a strain on a family that is already dealing with a loss! Thankfully I found Central MT Crematorium, Paul & Gary were so helpful and accommodating, a real blessing for my family and our situation! They even drove to Billings to accommodate our family. If you are reading the reviews and considering them please don’t hesitate, the one bad review that states “cheap is always cheap” upon my further investigation is currently a funeral home director & owner in Livingston MT that I assume is trying to discourage anyone from using Central MT Crematorium, not a customer that actually used them, shame on him! Upon further research I found where other funeral homes have even tried shutting down Central MT Crematorium! I am assuming it is because of the tremendous price difference? THANK YOU Central MT Crematorium & please keep doing what you do!”
— Jim Haagenson
“Central Montana Crematorium was a tremendous help to my family. Funds were non-existent and words can't do justice to the help they provided in my families time of need!”
— Richard Brooks
