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
“Their very helpful and attentive to the family's needs. Throughout the process they were very informative and helpful in all our choices and decisions. Someone was with us all the way til the end. Everything for the funeral was reasonably in our budget. Thank you to the Director and everyone who assisted in our time of mourning”

“Everyone knows how devastating loosing someone is and finding a funeral home that can both have great service and also have compassion is tough but I do have to say that Central Chapel went above and beyond to make sure that we had all we needed. Jennifer and her staff were warm and kind and also did everything to make sure that my moms life celebration was perfect. I was afraid of dealing with cold inconsiderate individuals who only wanted to sell a product but wow... This was the total opposite and we were so happy that we chose this establishment for my moms farewell. Thank you so much for all that you did to make sure we were ok and this celebration of life for my mother was beautiful. She also looked amazing thank you!!!!!”
