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.

“Hedges-Scott-Millard Funeral Home was a blessing. They were kind and helpful in answering our questions and working out anything special that we wanted. They made it easy, and that was exactly what we needed after losing our Dad.”

“Rekus funeral home made our experience of laying our grandmother to rest as pleasant as they possibly could. They honored all of our requests, no questions asked. They provided comforts that no one else has and I have unfortunately buried both my parents and now all of my grandparents. I have much experience with the funeral home business and this was by far the best experience bar none. Thank you for your kindness and dedication to your profession.”
