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
“Dan, Ann and the staff at Hux-Lipford provided top notch service during and after the time of my mom's death. I am very pleased with the care and support that they have given me and my family. Dan and Ann definitely went above and beyond to make sure my mom was honored, respected and cared for with love. I highly recommend speaking with Dan regarding your needs.”
— Jason Hughes
“I would like to say a special word of thanks to Dan & Ann, and the staff of Hux and Lipford Funeral Home. My father in law recently passed and they could not possibly have treated us with more care and compassion. The respect they showed toward my father in law during the entire process meant so very much to all of us. At one point, Dan saw that my young son was having a particularly hard time with the loss of his grandfather, and he went out of his way to take the time to help put my son at ease and comfort him. This was just one example of the many times he went way above and beyond to help us navigate this difficult time. Dan was so very patient with all of us, and at every single opportunity he ensured we had the time and information to make all of the decisions we needed to make. I recommend with the highest marks possible Hux and Lipford Funeral Home.”
— Mike Gillespie
“I would like to give a special thanks to Hux and Lipford, especially, Dan. My mother recently passed away. Dan arranged transportation to pick my mother's body up 2 hrs away. Dan and Hux were extremely compassionate, caring and did anything to assist me during my difficult loss. It's always good to see Dan but not under these circumstances. Unfortunately, this is an appointment we all must face. Blessings to your family and you. Thank you so much for all you've done as I'm still trying to cope without my mother's presence. She was my very best friend.”
