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.

“I am so grateful for this service. They were patient with me when I scheduled and cancelled twice as I came to terms with the idea that my cat if 16 years was at the end of her life. When I finally decided they came quickly. They explained everything. They were gentle and caring with my kitty. They were very kind to me. They gave me and my other cat time alone with her after she passed. I will never forget their kindness and I am eternally grateful to them.”
