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
“They treat everyone with respect. I showed up to my wife's funeral 30 minutes early. Step out of the car. And they greeted me with open arms. Making me very comfortable during this difficult time. Every wish was granted with dignity. They made my wife look herself "Beautiful". The pictures and music where on point. They are a great group of folks that will take care of you and your love one!”
— James Austin
“Terrible experience. Willfully gifted items away that were paid for by the estate, and not given to the one(s) who controlled, and handled the estate and it's fake/property. They also, very obviously, showed that we had to go against them, and not with them from the very beginning. Gaslighting was unreal here. Hope it's better for others, which I'm sure it will be, we were just unlucky I'd say. Thank you”
— J William
“During the most stressful time, Rebecca was calm, respectful, and very compassionate. The entire process was beautiful. All details were carried through without fault. Absolutely will call on them again when the time comes. Thank you.”
— Irene Utzman
