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
“This is a tricky review to leave. The library is a beautiful building and a great resource for the city. On the Sunday I visited however, it seemed to have a second role as a homeless shelter. I'm not exaggerating when I say having arrived 3 minutes after it opened its doors every single one of the more secluded study areas had been occupied by someone either homeless or living out of their car, and after a few hours I'd say about 80% of the people in there were not there for books, work or study. It begs the question, is there nowhere more suitable for them to get shelter and a place to sit down in comfort? I've lived in cities with much bigger problems regarding people in need of shelter, but I've never seen them filling up a library before.”

“I stopped by the library to check out the spring book sale. The library itself is a very nice and modern library. It appears that they have various types of materials for loan that includes books, dvds, audiobooks and music cds. There are also public computers available for use. The parking left something to be desired. The parking lot isn't very big for such a large library or large community. I had to drive circles around the parking lot 3-4 times to find a space. I also about got ran down by some older gentlemen in a red VW Beetle.”
— Daryl
“Very clean and well kept employees are very polite and friendly beautifully developed interior of the building”
