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
“We had services for my stepfather today. Mackenzie was excellent, from beginning to end. Our family has had several family members' visitations/funerals handled by Anderson (formerly Buck-Wheeler-Hyland). The last man we had also provided an excellent experience but I feel Mackenzie offered just a bit more. She made great recommendations whenever we were unsure how to handle something. She picked a poem to close out the service at the home that was really powerful and going that extra mile was quite special. I know there are other people working behind the scenes and we appreciate all that they did to make everything come together.”

“The Community Building recently hosted the visitation and service for the late Ron Wait. Working with Anderson Funeral Home was a great experience! Mackenzie and Katrina showed a high level of professionalism, care and compassion for all involved. The entire time presented a wonderful tribute to Ron and all that he cared for in our community. I would highly suggest using Anderson Funeral Home for any of your funeral needs.”
