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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“I was in charge of preparations for my brother who was terminally ill and the first call I made was to Mt. Baker Cremation Society because it was important to my brother he be cremated. From the first interaction and every interaction that followed, there was only kindness and patience on the other end of the phone. Brad and Jake each explained what we would need and reinforced they would be there when my brother passed. They were and it all went exactly how they had explained. My emotions were a bit raw from the loss of my brother, but it felt when I called them that they were truly supportive and helpful and they even went above and beyond by explaining what I needed to carry some cremated remains on a plane. Highly recommend this company--they don't seem to be among those taking advantage of you during a difficult time. Thank you to Brad and Jake, and even the kind receptionist!”
— Joy Johnson
“In a time of grief they are very helpful and make you feel like you're dealing with friends. The whole process went very smoothly and I can't thank them enough.”
— Jeff P
“Everyone in this organization is first class. They went far beyond what was expected to help my family with two services in the last two years. It's not a service you usually plan on but when you need it we could not have asked for more. I could not thank Mt. Baker Cremation enough for their help in this difficult time”
