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
“Jagers and Sons has unfortunately played a huge role in our lives these past six months. My family and I lost my husbands Father and then my Mother in May. They are caring, kind and so very supportive and make what is a very difficult experience alittle more bearable. Our world needs more compassionate and kind people and Jagers and Sons are the definition of that.”
— Shari Gabriel
“The death of my father was the single most difficult experience I could ever have imagined. Like most, I was in shock, denial, depression, and sometimes all three at once. In a moment like this, it helps to have a calm and confident resource. Tim Jagers used his years of experience to lighten the burden on our family. He has a selflessness and compassion that are unrivaled. He also has a firm understanding of the community he serves. I am glad my father's final care was entrusted to Tim and his team.”
— Justin Kane
“One of my coworkers passed away. She looked so beautiful the guys do amazing work. Very organized 👌”
— Cindy Shifflet
