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
“Elaine Mulligan was wonderful to work with when planning the memorial service for our mother. Fortunately, our mother had prepared and completed the preplanning for her own funeral needs. Elaine was available whenever we had any questions. She and the other funeral directors and assistants were very attentive to the details for the memorial service and making sure everything was ready and available as needed.”
— Karen Roberts
“I tried leaving a message under my father’s obituary and it appears I’m blocked? We had a strained relationship nonetheless I was not notified that my father passed away months ago by his wife (not my mother) nor any family member which is ludicrous, dysfunction at its best! A sad world we live in how people treat others especially family members, R.I.P. dad. PS My mum pictured whom we lost to Cancer in 1986, mum and dad were married 29 years and when he married Jan she wouldn’t let him visit her nitch.”
— Karen Liana
