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.

They are professional and respectful. Cost is economical and affordable. I give them each five stars.”
— Nanny Jeannie
“Having to work with funeral care is never something anyone looks forward to. However, when you are faced with the difficult situation of losing a loved one, working with someone who is soft spoken and truly cares and goes above and beyond to ensure everything goes as planned is priceless. Randy was professional, responsive, kind and compassionate when we lost my dad unexpectedly in October. He was so flexible and even came to our home to help us make plans which made it easier on my mother. He communicated every step of the way regarding the cremation process so we knew what to expect. He even personally delivered my father's remains to my mother. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Randy and the Ankeny Cremation and Funeral Care.”
— Brenda Riese
“My dad died very unexpectedly last month, but Randy and Mitch had everything set up and taken care of so quickly and easily. They kept me updated every step of the way, explained next steps to me, and were so patient and kind. This is exactly the kind of treatment you would hope for in this situation. They showed both myself and my dad so much compassion, I can never thank them enough.”
