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
“Our family was extremely pleased with Independent Funeral Services. As our Mother passed and emotions were high, they made themselves available for our every need. All details were handled in such a professional way and Tanner was such a sensitive gentleman and excessively caring and thoughtful to our every concern. He stayed late at the viewing to ensure all feelings were addressed and we couldn't have been more pleased with his professionalism. We definitely recommend.”
— Brian Whitesides
“Tanner helped my family and I out recently with our loved one who passed. He was so respectful of our culture & grieving, & he was patient most of all. We will forever be so appreciative of him and the work he did for my family. My mom having had to deal with all of the funeral organization was just extremely happy to have him on her side to work with because he made it simpler for her. My family & I are forever grateful. Thank you so much.”
— Lorena Sotelo
“I was completely unprepared for my sweetheart's passing, and inexperienced in organizing funeral details. I visited two facilities, and found them mechanical, robotic. My daughter arranged to have Tanner meet with us in her home, and within minutes, he was my best friend, a family member. Not only did he foresee our physical and logistic needs, his faith, compassion, and grace supported and embraced our emotional and spiritual needs. With his sensitivity to our grief and our desire to honor my wife and my children's mother, he gently outlined our options, helped us prioritize decisions and enabled our wishes for private farewells prior to the actual services. Amazingly he was available night and day, and adeptly responded to our needs while doing the same for other families going through their own saddest experience of their lives. If I was to characterize Tanner, I would describe him as an angel sent from God to serve just my family, and to assure us, by his attentive demeanor, that God not only loves us, but that our sweet Karen was enveloped in His loving arms. And like all angels, God trusts them with multiple assignments and the power to do His will. If you are reading this, I assume that you are in the middle of a very stretching experience. Rest assured, Tanner and his family will not let you down, and will remove much of the stress so that you can feel God's love for you and your family.”
