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
“I like it here! I’ve only been twice so far, but it’s very accessible, a variety of trails. Lots of cool birds. I would definitely recommend :)”
— Sam Schmitz
“This place is huge. Walked the grounds here for a few hours and couldn't cover it all. It's sad to see some of the tombstones knocked over or destroyed. Interesting though to see some of them are in the woods away from prying eyes. Good place to go to reflect. Just think, the ground that you walk on while there, is full of history, if only the deceased could talk.”
— Cynthia Sbihi
“Stumbled onto this very large, very beautiful cemetery while searching for a place near the river to do some photography. Time constraints kept me from walking all the way down, but it's a scenic and lovely graveyard and I got way too many images again lol. Always use the buddy system. As with any secluded area it's Probably not a good place to visit at night.”
— Betsy Foster
