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
“Although the thought of dealing with a funeral brings that overwhelming feeling of sadness, the staff of Watkins Cooper Lyon Funeral Home made our experience as painless as possible. My brother and I were treated with respect and consideration, and we were made to feel very comfortable as we navigated through difficult decisions. Our mother was almost 101 years old, and I was very concerned about her appearance at the funeral. I had originally decided that I would not view her body, but in the end I did, and I will be forever grateful to Nathaniel for making my mother look like the beautiful woman she used to be. I highly recommend WCLFH.”
— Donna Wilkins

— Wendy Wazeka
“Nathaniel and Elizabeth of Watkins Cooper Lyon Funeral Home were very professional and helpful and very patient in answering all of our questions. They were genuinely empathetic and kind.
