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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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’m writing this review exactly 3 years since last using their services. This funeral home has done so much for my family and I during the most difficult times of our lives. In 2017, they allowed us to hold such a beautiful open casket service for my uncle, and even offered to extend his service, at no additional cost, after seeing how many people attended his service and witnessing our unity/form of grieving through music/singing. They took very well care of my uncle, and made him look handsome/presentable, while following all of our requests and wishes. Then in 2022, we used their cremation services for my mother. They made the entire process bearable, straightforward and so easy. From calling to request their services before my mom passed, to picking her up from her home after she passed (with such respect, care and dignity.), the entire process was such a breeze, and we could focus on just grieving. They also listened to every single one of our requests before cremation and during. They even had us joking and laughing during our meeting with them! I believe we met with the son of the previous owner. They are so empathetic, genuine and caring. We chose this funeral home twice, the second time without even considering another, and if/when these services are needed, we will recommend and request Covell every time. Thank you!”

“Very grateful for the ease of process and compassion during the difficult time of the loss of my Mom. Their rates are extremely reasonable and you know you are not “just a number” when working with the staff at Covell. I would definitely use them again.”
— Heather Wildasin
“When my father died unexpectedly far from his home, we were recommended this place by his friend. Mr Covell took care of Dad, provided exactly the service we requested, was kind and polite and helpful as we worked through the process of getting his ashes back home to Indiana. It was a very fast situation, he either had or made space for us, and was reasonable in cost, and didn't charge anything extra, even though he did extra for us. What a change from the service we're not getting from our local funeral home back here, where our family has been buried for generations. Thanks, Mr Covell.”
