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 have helped plan several family funerals over the years, and while each was handled respectfully, none came close to the depth, care, and meaning of my late husband’s service at Freeman Mortuary on January 9, 2026. Our funeral director, Melissa Stampfly, showed extraordinary compassion and attention from the very beginning. She truly listened—learning who my husband was, what he loved, and what mattered most to him—and she wove those details into a service that reflected his spirit in a way that deeply moved our family and friends. In the midst of profound grief, her kindness and steadiness were an incredible comfort to me. Saying goodbye to someone you love is unimaginably hard. Melissa and the team at Freeman Mortuary honored my husband not just with professionalism, but with heart. If you are looking for a service that genuinely celebrates the life and individuality of your loved one, I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“I'm not surprised Freeman has a 5.0 rating! Our family is so thankful for the compassion, patience, and professionalism shown throughout the entire process. From the first phone call to after the funeral service, Will and Andrea treated our loved one with dignity and cared for us as if we were their own family. Their attention to detail and genuine kindness meant more to us than words can express. Thank you!”
— Laura L
