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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 had no idea what to expect when I arrived to pick up my mom's ashes. I had to wait quite a while to acquire the money but that did not end being an issue at all. On the contrary, Tim was one of the most understanding human beings I have come across during the whole tragic experience of losing my mom. Not only did I feel relieved when I left, but I also felt like I made a friend. I am so pleased that they were the ones that took care of her and cannot imagine what this could have been like elsewhere. Thank you so much.”
— John Socha
“I lost my mother December 8th and called Generations for her cremation. The staff is kind, compassionate and very helpful. The prices are very reasonable. We felt welcomed as we picked up my mothers ashes. I did have questions after and Nicole was very helpful and sweet. Thank you for taking good care of my Mom. We appreciate you all!”
— Lindsay Thauvette
“Generations Funeral & Cremations handled my uncles remains a few years back and they made such a terrible time a little bit easier. They were quick and very responsive and handled him with such care. Which is why when my grandma passed a few days ago we choose to stick with Generations. They’re understanding and very caring. They’ve taken such great care of my grandma since they’ve had her and we can’t thank them enough.”
— Megan St Johns
