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
“During what seemed like an impossible time to navigate, West Family Funeral Services helped things seem less overwhelming. They supported our vision for my fathers service & what we wanted it to be. They were patient as we needed to take a little more time due to it being so unexpected. We want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for being so good to us and making his memorial service a day to cherish.”
— Madeline S
“The West Family has now handled the passing of both my mother as well as her mother, my grandma. I think at this point I’ve interacted with probably at least a third of the staff and they are truly nothing but kind and gracious people. My grandma passed in 2020 so naturally options were limited but her death was still handled with a great deal of care. My mother, however, ending up being a bit more of a handful. Once again the entire team was on top of things and once again showing my family nothing but kindness. I’d have to move far away to not return to them again and I will never stop singing their praises.”
— Lilly Kolseth
“West Family Funeral offered guidance and kindness when I needed it most. Their kindness and attention to detail help me feel more comfortable and eased a stressful time. I will use them again when needed.”
— Leslie Elmore
