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.

During such a heartbreaking time they really made everything so easy and handled everything with us compassion and grace. Our whole family is truly grateful for them!”
— Colleen Fletcher
“Ward funeral home just handled my nephew's sudden passing . They were compassionate, helpful and kind. Chris went beyond the normal requests and even took care of things I had forgotten. God bless them for helping our family through a very very difficult time.”
— Ruth Tuohey
“I live right by this funeral home. My husband walks to the store every morning and picks up the trash left in the grass and along the sides from the bus riders and the kids that have no respect for property. Well for the thanks they have his car towed because it was in their lot when a funeral started. He works crazy hours and was not aware of the funeral. Im glad to see that this is how this funeral home treats the people that serve for this country. Nice job!!!”
— Kyra Taylor
