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
“Caring, respectful, and full of honor and grace. That defines the service for my beloved husband. I was so anxious about planning a memorial service, but after just one meeting with Al and his team, I felt seen and heard. They brought all of my ideas to fruition and everything was flawless. Thank you to the entire staff for helping me and my family through a very difficult time.”
— diane pathieu
“Ikare Funeral/ Irina Kushnerova is excellent at her job. My grandmother prearranged the funeral so we did not choose Irina but if you are in the position of choosing, I cannot recommend her more highly. She is very skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate. She made a very difficult process the least painful for my family. If you are the eldest immigrant daughter especially, she will see you and work for you.”
— J Alexandra Gelzin
