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 place is run down and the staff acts like they have no desire to be there. What once was a nice funeral home many years ago is now hanging on for dear life. I do not recommend this funeral home. It is falling apart and looks dilapidated. The funeral I attended was shameful. They hadn't even cleaned the bathroom. If you no longer want to do your job, find another one.”
— Danita Fagins
“Watkins heritage chapel took care of my mother Ola Tobin funeral arrangements and they did a excellent Job. They were very professional and caring. Thank you The Tobin family .”
— Sharon Tobin
“My good friends mother had passed away. I stopped by to deliver flowers 30 minutes before the service. No one was there. I went to the back service entrance and there is a door for delivery’s so I rang the bell, no answer. I let myself in and was shocked by the condition of the premises. This building has been in KC for as long as I can remember. They have not spent one dime on upkeep. Funeral costs are outrageous. There is no excuse for the shabby conditions. Carpet needs to be replaced throughout. The sanctuary smells musty. The wood outside is rotten and the paint is peeling. Gutters are hanging off. This place made a sad day even more sad.”
