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
“We could not have been happier with the excellent services provided by Peter Burton and his staff. They paid attention to detail, allowed a great amount of personalization and gave thoughtful guidance throughout our experience. Peter is more than kind; having offered excellent choices with consideration for our families' needs. He met personally with our Mom before she passed and had a genuine sense of what was important to her. Peter was easy to reach and responsive, meeting every need with ease. Staff were prompt, courteous and had real empathy. We especially appreciated the care provided for attention to detail for Mom's viewing and the beautiful memorial book and video tribute. Peter personally reached out afterward to help with flowers, and provide support in our grieving. He seemed to know exactly what would work best for our family and went 'over and above' to deliver. We can't thank Peter enough for his kindness, professionalism, and compassion. We have trusted Burton Funeral Home for many years and will continue long into the future.”
