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 wish I was a person with UNREAL words as nothing I can come up with will TRULY say how UNREAL "Van Tassel" is and it's no wonder with the INCREDIBLE "Izabela" running it! I've had three of my love ones taken care of by "Van Tassel". My Grandmother "Josephine F. Miller. My Dad "Egmidio R. Santiago" and recently my Nephew - "Gary A. Brown". I've loss over 25 people in my lifetime and had I known of Van Tassel they ALL would of been taken care of by Izabela. Even though a rarity some people actually care about others and NOT always about the money. Izabela has a HEART of gold. My Nephew passed away on 5/17/25 now 7 months till Christmas. Today 12/17/25 I received the MOST heart warming letter that are words that my Nephew be saying to us this first Christmas without him being here in person! I could go on & on but I'll end this by saying to you ALL that read this...Trust your love one with Van Tassel as they will give your love one the upmost RESPECT & Dignity. God bless you ALL!! Ps. Izabela Congrats on the birth of your adorable Grandchild. God's blessings to you & yours today * Tomorrow * FOREVER!!”

“I cannot recommend this funeral home enough. Izabela helped us navigate one of the hardest times and made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to make sure my grandmother safely returned to Poland for her funeral after a beautiful wake here. From the flowers to the priest she found to match what our family wanted, we didn’t have to stress about anything. Thank you Izabela. She will forever hold a precious place in our hearts because of her compassion and how she took care of us.”
