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
“As difficult as it was when my mother unexpectedly passed away in early December, I am forever grateful for the work and support from Yates Funeral Home. They made the process as stress-free as possible, which was no small act given the added complexity of having to transport my mother to another state, and coordinate with another funeral home on the receiving end. Special shout out to Kelly who managed much of the logistics. While it's not something we often want to think about, Yates made navigating a very difficult time as easy as possible. Thank You.”
— Robert Lachs
“We used Yates when Mom passed 10 years ago and recently with Dad's passing. Kelly is fantastic- supportive, very organized, and clear on the whole process. The other team members at Yates were also extremely helpful. We highly recommend Yates Funeral Home.”
— Paul Zaferiou
“Our family’s experience with Yates services was very positive. The staff was caring and considerate of our loss and helpful in doing the obituary. The suggestions they gave us were extremely helpful.”
— Ann Schmied
