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 want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional support we received during my mother’s funeral. Andrew and Eva, your compassion and professionalism made this difficult time much more manageable for our family. The spacious venue was perfect for our gathering, allowing us to celebrate my mom’s life comfortably. The charming antique style added a beautiful touch, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We also appreciated the small kitchen, which made it easy to set up snaks and coffee for our family and friends. Thank you once again for everything. We are truly grateful for the care you provided.”
— Ksenia Clark
“Appreciate their caring nature of funeral arrangements for my grandmother. From start to finish, they were empathetic and understanding of our situation. I had a 3 hour window to pick up my grandmother from a nursing home and they were more than accommodating and assured me every step of the way, which put my mind at ease. I am very grateful to Andrew and his constant correspondence. Their facility is lovely and they do a wonderful job at making sure you and your loved one is well taken care of during this hard time. Thank you tremendously!”
— Samantha Forrest

It’s comforting to know that during the darkest times of life, there is someone we can rely on to carry out our wishes in the most efficient way possible, and with a sense of warmth and compassion. They are all about what is best for the family. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to handle our affairs.”
