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
“During such a difficult time for our family, the care and professionalism we received made all the difference. Kevin Wood did an excellent job guiding us through my mother's arrangements and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel much easier and more manageable. Crist Mortuary was beautiful, peaceful, and very clean. It provided a welcoming and comforting place for family and friends to gather and honor my mother's life. Everything was handled with kindness, respect, and attention to detail, and we are truly grateful for the support we received. Thank you to Kevin and the entire Crist staff for helping our family through such an emotional time with compassion and dignity. Thank you again, Family of Marion Mantz”
— Valli Price
“Rebekah was friendly, professional, and invaluable both planning and conducting the inurnment of my mother. She guided me through the multiple steps with tremendous patience and helped me coordinate all the preparation from 1500 miles away. During the service a Boulder storm came through and she held the tent in the wind and then the flowers and picture. Truly above and beyond!”
— Kevin Mulcahy
“My husband and I had a very positive experience with Crist Mortuary. Rebekah did an awesome job of guiding us through the process. She answered all our questions with knowledge and kindness. We really like the Beacon technology. The other places we interviewed were scratching notes on paper and it was very confusing.”
— Sue Romero
