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
“My experience with Gillies began in the middle of the night. Two dignified gentlemen, in formal attire came to pick up my husband who had just passed away. They were so professional and caring. Part of the process was my husband being transported to Lincoln, Nebraska for burial. Gillies took care of everything. The staff made me feel like I was with family who cared.”

“Attentive, kind, thoughtful and professional are all words that come to mind when thinking about my recent experience with Gillies. Would highly recommend to anyone needing these difficult and important services. Cindy and Elizabeth were there to help with anything I needed throughout the process with clear communication and empathy during a challenging and emotional time.”
— Lara Bogaard
“Gillies funeral home and staff were so helpful, comforting and understanding of my family's situation when my father passed. I was overwhelmed when my father passed unexpectedly and the staff at Gilles walked me through the funeral process with patience and warmth. They even helped organize donations towards funeral expenses, which helped more than I can express. It has been a long time since I have felt so vulnerable and yet safe around people I have never met. I highly recommend Gillies Funeral Home, they are comforting, organized and graceful.”
