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
“St. Louis Cremation provided exceptionally kind and loving care for my partner and his family during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. From the very first conversation, my funeral director, Lauren, was compassionate, patient, and deeply understanding. She ensured my partner was picked up from the hospital promptly and treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. I have witnessed cremations in the past, but the level of care shown this time was profoundly moving. After weeks in the hospital, my partner’s beard was untrimmed and his hair unkempt, yet the staff took the time to gently groom him—trimming his beard, combing his hair, and restoring some color to his face. Their attention to these details meant more to me than I can fully express. I hadn’t seen him without a mask or an intubation tube in weeks, and because of their care, I was able to see him one last time looking peaceful and like the big, strong man I loved. That final image is a gift I will always carry with me. Thank you, Lauren, and thank you to everyone at St. Louis Cremation for the dignity, tenderness, and humanity you showed my partner and our family.”
— Alan Bell
“I chose St. Louis Cremation for both my sister in 2013 and her son recently because of their longstanding reputation for professional, compassionate care. From the first call to when I picked up his cremains, their staff were professional and caring, answering every question, keeping me up to date on the process. I would not hesitate to entrust them with my cremation.”
— Jack Huel
