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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“This is the best place to say goodbye to the loved ones you have lost. I've said goodbye to quite a few beloved family members through the years and always from Ross's. Mike has been kind and respectful of the family's wishes and makes the decision process as comfortable as possible during that difficult time. Thank you 🙏”
— Vanessa Lasobek
“I've known Michael for a long time and am not only glad to consider him a colleague, but a great friend as well. As a funeral service professional myself, when my family needs taken care of, I want someone with the same morals and ethics as me to care for them. That alone is why I would recommend Ross Funeral Home. Mike is a stand up guy - plain and simple. He provides great service, has immaculate attention to detail, and is fair with everyone - no matter your finances, race, or religion. He genuinely cares about the people that call him for service, and wouldn't ever dare be pushy or try to sell you something you didn't want, or couldn't afford. Do yourself a favor. When you need compassion and caring at one of the hardest times of your life, turn to Michael as Ross Funeral Home.”
— Jason Smith
“100% recommend. Following an unexpected and devastating loss my family and I didn't even know where to start. The professional and compassionate people at Ross's some how are able to help you feel as though you're going to survive one of the worst moments in your life. There was zero pushy sales. Everything was about what the family wanted and how they could best support it. Michael walked us through the process as delicately as possible and took great care to accommodate any special requests we had (like no black attire). Thank you for being there for my family .”
