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
“Exceeded our expectations and everything was planned out well and everything explained throughout the whole experience. Mr. Robert Overmeyer who handled everything for my husbands funeral was exceptional. Highly recommend. Thank you for everything.”
— mary Barras
“I delivered 2 miscarried babies at home. Robert and his staff were very friendly and empathetic when we brought my sweet angels in to be cremated. He let me pick out a beautiful little urn. A lot of crematoriums turned us down before we found Ascension, because most won't deal with stillborns. Our babies are valid and now dignified. We are forever grateful. 🙏🏼”
— Kristin Ross
