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.

— Sherry Credille
“I had a very positive experience with White Sanders. It was the first time I had to do this sort of thing on my own. They were very helpful and courteous. They helped me in decisions and gave great service. Everything turned out just beautiful!! I definitely would use again.”
— Joyce Urich
“I had the worst experience during the most difficult time in my life. Laying my father to rest at only 61 years old was very devastating. With his years of experience I would of expected more understanding and compassion during the planning process. He gave off really judging and negative vibes. He gave us no direction for the service yet was there to rush the viewing. Following the service before the casket was locked and sealed he would not let my mother and I view my father for one last goodbye. He also put the wrong birth date on my dads vault. Very disappointed in the services we paid for and I wish I would have used another funeral company.”
— Rosanna Giles
