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
“Nice big place to have a service. The upstairs is spacious and comfortably fits many folks. The downstairs has around 20 tables that sit 8-10 people per table. Space for d.j., dancing, kitchen, and serving area. All the entrances were wheelchair accessible and the outside served for some beautiful areas to take pictures and space for the kids to run. My two negative things, which prevented me from giving 5 stars, was the men's bathroom needed some updating. The sinks weren't working properly, and nowadays, everything needs to be updated to hands-free services and the foot door opener. The second negative was the rocks out in the parking area. It was uncomfortable to walk on, and everyone know kids love rocks.”
