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
“This funeral home has it all. They have a small, intimate Chapel for smaller family gatherings, but they also have an extremely large Chapel that can accommodate 200 people. The building is beautiful, but, more importantly, you'll never find a more accommodating, knowledgeable, caring and kind staff anywhere. They go above and beyond to make a family's most difficult time much less stressful just knowing they and their loved are in caring and compassionate hands. Outstanding in every way.”
— J Jones
“Alex was absolutely wonderful in helping us with the funeral arrangements for my beloved grandma. He is so attentive and understanding and the rest of the staff was beyond welcoming and kind. The building is so beautiful and well maintained as well. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for everything.”

“We are so grateful to DuPage Cremations for the care and compassion shown in handling our father’s arrangements. From the very beginning, everything was carried out with dignity and professionalism. Chris was incredibly patient, walking us through each step and never making us feel uneasy about asking the difficult questions that come with such a tender time. They also handled all of our requests very nicely, which gave us peace of mind knowing we were being heard and supported. On the day of the funeral, every detail was beautifully arranged, allowing us to focus on honoring our father and being with family. We truly thank Chris and the entire team from the bottom of our hearts for guiding us with empathy during such a difficult moment.”
