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.

“We want to extend a special thank you to Renee especially, and Morgan, Theresa, and Adam. All of the staff at HSK were very professional, but never cold or insensitive. They are compassionate, wildly detail-oriented and thoughtful, and it is evident that they care about and are passionate about what they do. We appreciated the small things they never overlooked, like printing address labels for our thank-you letters and sending a letter opener for letters we received. We talk often about how great our experience was. They prioritize respect and dignity of the deceased and continuously checked in with us throughout services to make sure everything was to our liking. What an amazing group of people. We are so glad we chose HSK. Thank you, Renee, Morgan, Theresa, and Adam!”
