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 Son and I came in to see you stunned with grief from the loss of John, my spouse and Adam's father. I may not have remembered every detail we went through together, but I remember the caring manner of the words and the jesters from everyone at Flanner Buchanan. I asked about certain things from Doug (a true Godsend) as fingerprints from my spouse. And so many more and he made it feel like such a doable request. He had the softest touch with all of us. At the Mass, we were not sure of the process of the blend of funeral and Mass, but Doug guided us through it all with lovingness and care. Afterwards, Doug called to check on me several times, and that really made such a difference. What a beautiful loving staff at Flanner Buchanan. Thank you for making an incredibly difficult time more than doable.”
