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
“It's never a fun time when you have to use services from places like these, however The process was made so seamless and easy and everybody seemed very genuine when they helped us. There was a lot of concern and a lot of heartfelt communication between us and everyone we talked to. With the arrangements that we specifically had with them we did not have to travel all the way there because we live so far away and they were willing to meet us halfway. That shows again them going above and beyond to help us out in our time of need. Obviously the idea is to never have to use a funeral service if need be but once you do I would highly recommend these people. If I could give them more than five stars I would.”
