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
“Showalter Blackwell Long took great care of my dad. Arrangements were made simple and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, especially with my dad’s death being extremely unexpected. The service went perfect and they were able to accommodate for a large crowd. My dad looked great for visitation, and the staff were so kind, helpful and treated us as if we were their own family. I will remember his service for the rest of my life and will never use a different funeral home for my loved ones. Shelly and Kala—thank you so much for your care and attention to all the small details during one of the hardest days of my life.”
— Reili Godar
“From the moment the funeral was notified of Mom's passing I received a phone call offering their condolences and set up a phone call for the following Monday. Shelly and Kayla were so amazing, compassionate and so reassuring in our time if grief. They handled ever last detail to the Memorial Service held on the 22nd of July. Our family was so overwhelmed by the care and personal touches by Shelly and Kayla and our words cannot begin to adequately thank them. They made the whole process beautiful ❤️”
