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
“This is a place that makes you feel reverent and thankful. Hundreds of headstones of soldiers who died in wars to protect our freedoms. It was a humbling experience for me to think that all these many sons and fathers and uncles were in their graves for us so that we might have the right to speak out or the right to control our own bodies or the right to do almost anything! It's a good place to take a walk and contemplate things. It's usually always very quiet. Dorothy Sanders”
