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.

“We needed to update paperwork on my wife’s account and were able to get this done to our satisfaction. It had been on my mind to purchase a pre-paid cremation policy for myself as well. I found terms that suited my needs and could make reasonably priced payments on it so purchased my policy that day. Peace of mind, pleasant people working there so we highly recommend this business!”
— Michael Wheeler
