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
“I cannot say enough about how expertly and compassionately Katelyn handled our family's funerary needs upon the death of our mother. I would highly recommend Katelyn and the staff at Laughlin for their expert care.”
— Michael G
“The staff was very communicative and made the appropriate coordination between the cemetery grounds and personnel in a timely manner. However their pricing was extremely high for services provided. We had very minimal services provided with cremation and urn only; no viewing; no embalming, no visits or use of the actual funeral home, No flowers or other extras. They posted the obituary on their website and met us at the cemetery. They also handled cremation and transportation of the body from the hospital. In the end, the total cost was $4,800. Looking at averages in Pittsburgh for similar services, the overall price was twice as much as others were offering. I have also been involved in a recent family funeral that included many other services at another funeral home that was $1,500 cheaper than this funeral.”
— Craig
“Kurt and entire staff were wonderful to work with in a not so wonderful time. My brother was given a memorial service that I could not have created without the direction of Kurt. The Urn we purchased was even customized by Kurt and his wife! They exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend this business. Kurt worked within my budget, gave compassion, flawless arrangements, convenient location with ample parking , and clean. Gigi Colosimo”
