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
“I can’t express how good the experience at McMullen was. When our loved one passed, we were left scrambling trying to plan the service on short notice, and Matthew, Crystal, and the staff made the situation much more manageable and smooth. We required a Hindu ceremony and cremation, and McMullen’s pre-arranged agreement with the local temple allowed us to honor our loved one within our tradition. I can’t recommend them more strongly.”
— Ashwin Thiruppathi
