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
“Hilary and Peter went above and beyond to provide a beautiful celebration of life ceremony for my Mother. They were exceedingly kind and caring throughout the entire process. From making the arrangements for the ceremony to keeping me updated about the bookmarks we had ordered from the printer I never felt alone in the process. I cannot fully express how much I appreciated their compassion during that difficult time.”

“THIS PLACE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB! PETE HADE EVERTHING IN ORDER AND READY. WOULD HIGLT RECOMMEND!”
— Kim Weigel
“The Gilligans are wonderful people to work with. They went out of their way to facilitate my family's requests regarding the cremation of my wife. Something people don't like to talk about when it comes to these things is the cost. They could've have nickel and dimed everything but they didn't. Pete was very transparant about the cost up front and it ended up costing less than I had anticipated.”
— Michael “Mike”
