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've known Gary for a long time and my Grandparents and Aunt had their services at Gass Haney and everything was always perfect. Our Mom, and our dad's wife of 69 years recently passed in Loveland Colorado and our dad Dale wanted her buried in Columbus with her parents and sister and where she spent many great years and had many friends and relatives in the area. I worked with Gary and Jon on the logistics from Loveland where she was cremated to Columbus. They set up everything for the burial with the city, and I had no doubt everything would be perfect, and it was. They took every call within minutes and gave us every piece of information we needed. Thank you again for your caring service and making it very stress-free for our family and especially for our dad. We will be having a celebration of life at a later date at Gass Haney.”
