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.

“Clay and team were very supportive throughout the process. We had to execute a pre-planned service that was purchased many years ago. The plans had to be updated as many things had changed from when originally created. Clay was kind, compassionaten and helped us update the arrangements that best honored our loved one. The kindness, compassion, and respect was much appreciated during our time of need.”
— Nicole Adams
“I pre-planned my mother's funeral with Deborah. She made the process quite easy. There was no pressure. There was no pushing for things I didn't want or couldn't afford. I was given time to decide before signing anything. There was an open line between the two of us for any questions that arose. When the time came to implement those funeral plans, having pre-planned made everything so much easier. I had to travel for two days to get to Sycamore, but due to the plans, everything could be set in motion before I arrived. One quick meeting with Clay was all it took when I arrived. All my wishes were met. My mother looked so good...kudos to the beautician and make-up artist. Mom would have been happy with how everything turned out. Everyone involved was very professional.”
