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 can’t recommend Peterson Brothers Funeral Home enough! My passed away not long after I started cancer treatments. Lance was so wonderful with all of the funeral arrangements, and made it so simple which I really needed with my new health issues. He worked around my crazy health schedule, and took care of all the details which took so much stress off my shoulders. Everything about the funeral, luncheon and burial was perfect, and I know that is because of his hard work and the rest of the staff, who were also amazing!”
— Tracy Thompson
“Lance and his team handled arrangements for my father’s visitation and funeral professionally and with a very personal touch. I could tell they really cared about making us comfortable and honoring my father’s memory. The facility was beautiful and comfortable. Would recommend them anytime.”
— Laurie U
“We are so grateful to Lance and Melissa for their kindness and thoroughness in helping us through this emotional farewell to our loved one. Everything from catering, flowers, military markers, burial, etc. was taken care of and was just beautiful at their newly remodeled, high tech funeral home. The beautiful video they put together with our photos and music choices was so perfect and will cherish that forever! Thank you for the best possible experience during a difficult time.”
