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
“My father died 2 weeks ago. We chose Care Cremation, since we had used them for my sister, and they did a great job. Hospice was in the house when my father took his final breath. The nurse asked me which funeral home we chose and I told her. My phone rang almost instantly, and it was Care. I was speechless at first because it happened so fast and it was 1 AM Sunday morning. I was told they could be on-site in 1 hour. Surprisingly, they were, and they were so kind. They asked if my father was a veteran, and we replied that he was. When they picked up my father's body a little bit later, they draped a flag colored cover him and played taps as they left. We were so touched, we just stood there, once again speechless. The next day, I found out the church could have the funeral mass in 2 days (Wednesday), but a lot of other things had to fall in place, such that family members who were from out of town could just stay over. Not only was Care able to make the cremation happen on our tight schedule, when we told them we had no idea where my father's military discharge papers were, they took it upon themselves to call to locate them and get them faxed. Then they called the Air Force Honor Guard and scheduled a flag folding ceremony during the funeral mass. They also called the local American Legion and they provided a 21 gun salute also during the funeral. I can't put into words how special it was to give my Dad such a special send-off. I wanted to put this review out there and tell other people what kind of dedication to customer satisfaction this company strives for. I hope others that choose them will feel the same way as we do.”
