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
“Veterans Funeral Care were so wonderful when my parents passed away less than 24 hours apart. I did not have a funeral provider picked out in advance, but they showed up immediately to get my father's body from the VA Hospice ward, draped him in a flag, and slowly and respectfully took him out as the VA staff paid him tribute. Less than 24 hours later, my mom died in the long-term care facility she had been in the past 3 years. Veterans Funeral Care picked up my mom's body as well, and were so helpful in getting everything handled quickly for us so we could get back home after spending so much time taking care of my parents for the last few months of their lives. All the staff were kind, patient, and helpful in getting us through this difficult time. We highly recommend Veterans Funeral Care.”
— Patti Stephens
“Great people and service. Mr Jim Rudolph, Steve Harris and staff did an awesome job with my sisters memorial. I called Mr Jim after my sister passed and they made me feel like family. They are people who care about the deceased and their love ones. I was sad, loss and heartbroken. I would recommend Veteransfuneralcare to anyone who lose a love one. Thank you Mr Jim Rudolph and staff.”
— Catherine Jones
“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Veterans Funeral Care and especially to Jim Rudolph, my longtime high school friend, for the exceptional care and compassion they provided during my husband Mark Smith’s military service at Bay Pines. Losing Mark has been the most difficult experience of my life, but Jim and his team made this painful time easier to endure. Their professionalism, respect for Mark’s service, and genuine kindness brought me comfort when I needed it the most. Every detail was handled with dignity and heartfelt attention, allowing me to focus on honoring Mark’s memory. Thank you, Jim, for guiding me through this process with such grace and compassion. Your support meant more than words can express. I am forever grateful to Veterans Funeral Care for helping me give Mark the beautiful, honorable farewell he deserved. Laurie Smith”
