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
“What a seamless experience during the most devastating moments after my mother's departure from this world to the next. The West family and team helped guide me through the process so well. The personal attention I received from the owner and staff was hands down better help than I got from the other funeral homes I contacted for information and pricing. Mr. Aldrich provided information I needed without the knowledge of knowing if he was going to get my account or not. He just felt I needed help and he reach out to provide it. Jada and Nicole are the sweetest and kindest ladies working this business and they took the worry and concerns out of my hands and I had to address nothing but peace, joy and a "Celebration" party for my Mother. I highly, highly recommend this funeral home for anyone feeling confused about what to do next for funeral arrangements for yourself or your loved ones. Its best to plan early for these things with West funeral Home. They take you through the steps to music, videos, resting options such as open casket, closed casket, memorial rental casket for service before cremation, full cremation(the option chosen) grave side service, or church service funerals. West funeral home does it all. Let them take out the "guess" work of planning a service and you can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your loved one is taken care of in the most respectful way. They also don't forget about you as the loved one who is greiving and they look after you as well in kind words and attention. What a wonderful family and a awesome staff. They are being "HIGHLY" recommended by me and my family. Thank you West Funeral Home for helping to make Mom's homegoing a wonderful experience!!!!!”
