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
“Whitten Funeral Home gave us a most welcoming and caring experience during a grieving time and while most of the family was snowed in. Thank goodness our Dad had prepaid and preplanned everything with Whitten some years ago. Very seamless.”
— Debby Thayer, Realtor, Prestige Properties
“Whitten was one of three funeral homes I visited to discuss making final arrangements for when that day arrives. While they were not the least expensive, they provided a comprehensive plan, and I was especially impressed with the professionalism and flexibility of William 'Bill' Rhudy. He answered every question I had and provided a feeling of comfort to me that I know will also be present someday when my Executors and beneficiaries contact him. Thank you, Bill and Whitten, for handling everything in advance.”
— Ted Lipsky
“I have a lot of wonderful things to say about this place. The 2 gentlemen that picked my daddy up were so very kind and professional. Brian the gentleman that helped us along the way made the whole process enjoyable. That young man deserves a raise. I will always choose whitens in MadisonHeight from here on out due to the way that they treated my family. It was a wonderful experience. Very kind and compassionate people. Not to mention they even did a fantastic job on getting my daddy ready for his final ride. Thank you guys.”
