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.

Business Hours
What Families Say
“The warmth of the staff, especially Alexia and Craig far surpassed my expectations. My brother was able to plan his funeral when he was placed on hospice services. Everything was beautifully planned from the flowers to the service. Working with Rhonda (officiant) and reliving my brothers life and to hear her speak of him as she has known him her whole life was very special indeed. I felt the staff deeply cared for my brother and our family making sure all his final wishes came true. I highly recommend the services at Advantage-Melcher Roses.”
— Tami B
“My sister passed very quickly and arrangements were not previously made. The funeral home was very helpful and compassionate in our family’s time of need. They listened to our concerns and offered options that were very helpful.”
