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
“Dear Mr. Walker, My apologies it was errors in the last review. I am writing to express my concern regarding your reply to my review, and the inconsistent handling of my third-party urns. Initially, your company accepted them. Yesterday Walker funeral home denied returning them upon you asking my father's wife to ask me to remove a Google review post. After filling a complaint and making a review. Two of the three urns in question reappeared, which I was previously unaware of until filing a report. The urns that reappeared were among those your company claimed not to accept. The fact that your company sought removal of the review suggests that there is truth to my claims. Furthermore, if your company does not accept third-party urns, it is unclear why two of the five urns were filled while three were retained. As I have stated previously, the customer service experience was subpar, and it appears that your company is attempting to coerce me into removing the review by withholding my urns. Currently, the urns are not being filled or and not being returned due to my refusal to remove the post, with your company claiming they are being given to my father's wife. Who didn’t pay for them or have anything to do with the urns. Additionally, if you do not fill third-party urns, I have provided pictures with the two URNS FROM AMAZON A THIRD PARTY COMPANY that Walker Funeral Homes in Walnut Hills, located at 2625 Gilbert Ave, filled. I also possess the receipt (sticky note giving to us by your host) from your funeral home with my father(the deceased) name stating they were filled., which I will be uploading subsequently.”
