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
“Came here for the visitation of a family friend. Staff was professional, and cordial. Funeral Home atmosphere and decor was appropriate. Exiting the funeral home onto busy Middlebelt Road is difficult. I politely suggest the interior of the funeral home be dusted including the lights. A fresh coat of paint is called for. I noticed a black wall next to an outlet. Has the electrical wiring been inspected recently?”
— Scott Beaudrie
“Griffin Funeral Home in Westland was outstanding. Even though I had a very small funeral for my sister. Debbie took the time go over my options very patiently. The funeral at the church was handled exactly as requested. Very professional, caring people.”
— Maria Ward
“Called to inquire about services available for my aunt who can’t afford to bury her son, the lady at the front desk laughed at the situation. Very unprofessional.”
— Cody Campbell
