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
“Garden Chapel really helped me get through a very difficult time in my life. When my mom passed away, Annette and the rest of the Garden Chapel staff did all they could to comfort and assist me. They offered a variety of options to choose from, and helped me identify the best choice for my financial situation. They were all very kind and comforting, and I will always greatly appreciate what they did for me. I hope no one has to go through the pain of losing a loved one, but if you do, I would highly recommend Garden Chapel's services. Huge thank you to Annette, and the rest of the staff!”

There is so many details that involve arranging services for a loved one, and without listing them all here, I just have to say that this team took care of everything involving the service for me during this difficult time. My mom's service was beautiful and the GC team was so attentive to every single detail, even at the cemetery they coordinated with the staff and assisted with guiding the guests.”
