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 family and I experienced a tragic loss in our immediate family. Figuring out which funeral home to choose was very hard given our acute grief and our desire to honor our loved one. I chose Foothills Cremation and Funeral Service hoping for the best but honestly not entirely sure given my emotional state. They are not the largest or fanciest funeral home, which may be one reason why they are exceptional. John was very empathetic, professional, detail oriented, and they were reasonably-priced. He navigated us through the most difficult task of our lives as if we were his only client, and I am forever grateful. Thank you John and Foothills Cremation.”
— Michael Edwards
