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
“I'm gonna start by saying we did not go with Bateman Funeral Home because they are not affordable. This review is based solely on thier pricing and customer service. They seem to be part of a group of a funeral homes/chapels in the Lincoln city/Newport area who all seem to have the same fixed pricing structure. Each one quoted us roughly 2300 (give or take) for the most basic direct cremation. No viewings or anything of that sort. Save yourself some time, money, and hastle and go with Crown Cremation out of Salem. Thier basic direct cremation is about $1200, $30 state filing fee, I believe it was $25 to $30 for each death certificate, and the transport fee was about 6/mile after 25 miles - which they don't charge for the drive over only the return. So we paid about $250 for transportation (we were in the north end of lincoln city). Again, we did not choose to go with this company. The people we talked to were very polite and professional. I'm sure if money wasn't a concern that they might have done a great job.”
