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
“Can’t say enough about this place & people that work there. In the past few months I have lost 2 grandparents on different sides. We had Mary for my grandfathers who literally went above & beyond. Super caring & has a gentle way in how she speaks. A short few months later we had Kristin for my grandmothers services. She was unable to be there for the wake & to our surprise Mary was there. It was a surreal moment to once again have her. The next day Kristin was there through all the burial services & she provided the same exceptional care. Along with these two, Kim played a large role in each detail. From myself & family we can’t thank each of them enough for being so caring & respectful during such difficult times. It takes a truly special person to be in this industry & they each have found their calling!”
