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 cannot thank Sara, Catherine and their team enough for the care they took with our mother. They handled her with such dignity and respect, and the personalization they brought to the service was deeply comforting. The staff was kind, professional, and patient, helping our family navigate this difficult time with ease. I highly recommend them.”
— Phillip Bell
“I have never in my life been treated with such respect, kindness and concern. I met Anita, the funeral director, last year when my mom passed on. She was amazing, the entire staff was. Well now a little over a year later my dad passed. I am completely devastated but Anita stepped in and took over everything making it so easy for me. She went over everything and organized everything with the military and law enforcement. I can not thank her enough for her expertise, love and caring. Well done Ruffner-Wakelin.”
— Patti Jensen
“I am so grateful for Anita. I walked in after having been crying because I don’t know what I’m doing. She came right over and helped me and explained everything to me. I’m so thankful for her and her assistant for being so kind and helpful. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you Anita so much!”
— Danielle Olson-Connally
