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
“During one of the hardest times our family has faced, the entire staff was extremely kind, helpful, and supportive. We are deeply grateful for everything you all did for our family. A special thank you to Carmelita and Aisha. Aisha went out of her way to make sure the funeral went smoothly, and her care meant so much to us.”
— Sharita Alexander

— Archbishop Dr Smith Abrams Almasi MDiv DD THD PhD
“My grandmother’s services were held at this facility and unfortunately the experience was disappointing and disheartening. The staff came across as surprisingly insensitive given the nature of their business. The officiant clearly had not prepared he even mispronounced one of the most common names (also the name of a state, spelled the same) which felt careless and disrespectful. His delivery was confusing, making it difficult to follow what he was trying to convey. To make matters worse, instead of reading parts of the service aloud, he asked the family to read them ourselves, which felt inappropriate and impersonal for such an occasion. Additionally, the staff told us we could not speak to one another during the service because other funerals were taking place. While I understand this is a business, a funeral home should still prioritize compassion and respect for grieving families. Guy & Allen may be one of the oldest funeral homes in Gary but from my experience that does not equate to quality service. I encourage families to explore other options when honoring their loved ones.”
