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
“After the passing of my Dad, it was such a comfort working with this business to make arrangements. The process was simple, straightforward, and fairly priced. I was so happy that they were in my father’s neighborhood as I imagine he would have loved being so close to his community. The staff were compassionate and thoughtful and let us do as much or as little as we were able to take on. We worked with Todd the most and he was great, but everyone on staff we encountered was very kind. It was a very classy and lovely space with little pretense, celebrating a loved one here felt quite satisfactory.”
— Shocka Dellica
“Todd & the amazing team members were exceptional to work with. The level of love & care they provided for our family and our dad was extraordinary.”
— Jodi Kesinger
“Under the most unfortunate circumstances, we were introduced to Todd at Rumsey Yost. Despite the most difficult period of our lives, I cannot overstate the class, grace, kindness, and consideration we were treated with working with Todd Miller and his team. Exceptional is an understatement; he was communicative throughout the entire process and was able to navigate these rocky waters with a level of finesse and understanding that made the entire experience much better than it otherwise could have been. I can give countless examples throughout this process as to Todd's level of professionalism and class, but it is not an exaggeration to say that my experience working with Todd was one of the best experiences in terms of level of service, that I have ever received in my life, regardless of the circumstances. Your choice of funeral home for a loved one is not one that should be taken lightly, and we got EXTREMELY lucky with Todd & his team at Rumsey Yost. It is a service that I will remember for the rest of my life; thank you Todd & team you are all incredible.”
