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
“The services they provide our exceptional. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.”
— Trude Bickerstaff
“First let me say I don't know if this is weird reviewing a funeral home, but I recently had a beloved cat pass away and the staff there was so incredibly empathetic and professional. They were so gentle handling my kitty's remains. I will never forget my experience there. It took about a week to get the cremated remains back. So if this is how they treat a cat, I would trust them with my loved ones as well. Thank you so much for making this process a little bit easier.”
— Lydia D
“They definitely dont listen to the only living son's wishes.”
— Rachael Ramirez
