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
“I'm really disappointed with them. we have used them for 5 other family members and never had a problem,but this time things didn't go like it was supposed to, My brother and I made arrangements for our with Steven last Monday,we had our dad cremated and ask if they could bring him to the church and say a few words at the graveside,we were told yes,then on Wed was told that he doesn't do speeches at the service ( why didn't he mention it to us Monday when we did arrangements).he didn't show up with the ashes on Saturday (day he was to be laid to rest).I called to see where he was,his reply was since we a discount and we had to hire someone to speak at service that they wasn't bringing him,so today I went to pick up the ashes(the following Monday)I asked him for the 2 death certificates we had asked for during the arrangements,he comment was since we got the discount he didn't order them.so I had to go out to my car to get the money so that I can have it, I will never go back again that was the worst communication ever.”
