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.

She was treated with the utmost respect and dignity, like she was part of their own family. On the day of the service, everything ran smoothly, and the staff showed great professionalism and attention to detail. They put together a beautiful service that truly honored our mom’s life. We are so grateful for their kindness, care, and support during such a difficult time. ~ Cheryl, Kristyne and Craig Service of Marcia (Sturtevant) Hathaway ❤️”
