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
“My 26 yr old daughter passed 2 days before Thanksgiving. Needless to say I never thought I would have to bury one of my children, and I was completely lost and heartbroken. Melanie and the entire team at Lancaster Funeral Home were so kind, genuinely helpful, and went out of their way to help. They not only didn’t overcharge, but they were willing to ensure the price stayed low. They allowed me to have time alone with my daughter, and then the whole family to have some time with her. They double checked to make sure everything was how we would like it. I just cannot say enough nice things about these people. They were amazing and warm. Just what is needed when you feel like your heart has stopped beating. Thank you Lancaster Funeral home and Melanie. You are amazing!”
