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
“We cannot begin to thank McFarland’s for helping us provide our mom, with a wonderful funeral service just the way she would have wanted it. They went above and beyond. The programs, the registry book, the picture blanket, and the coffin covers were of great quality and given to us at the end of the service. We will cherish this forever. We didn’t expect it all, so it was a wonderful surprise and shows the extra touch that they provide to ensure your loved ones are laid to rest in style. They were prompt with everything. Easy to communicate with and they were always very responsive. They were recommended to us by other family members, and we know why and we will do the same. Thank you sincerely for making this a memorable moment in our lives.”
