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
“Jeff & staff took care of our dad during a horrible time. My dad looked like the dad I knew years ago. During a tough time Jeff made us feel like family, we could joke around like my dad enjoyed, and it all went well.... for a funeral. Lol. He carried out my dads wishes & that's all that mattered. Thanks for taking care of our dad, Jeff & staff!”
— Jamie -R
“Jeff Somers and his staff are wonderful to work with plus Jeff worked with my inlaws years ago on preplanning honestly then it was just about following what was already planned out. I highly recommend if possible for families to do preplanning it makes it alot easier for your love ones.”
— Virginia Arthur
“Jeff and his team were absolutely amazing! My family had a very hard couple months. They were so patient with our large group and all of our questions and concerns. Jeff listened to every little detail that was mentioned (even when we didn't realize it). I cannot express enough how greatful we are. Thank you all!”
