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
“Mrs.Drain, handled the services for my mother. We had a service and a cremation after. She did everything through the phone with us by us living many states away. Once we arrived in town we sign all of our paperwork that was necessary. The director we dealt with there was a pastor and presented us with scripture and love. Thank you to Drain Funeral Home staff. They also offered to provide transportation to us from the hotel, but we didn’t need it .”
— Marc Cheifter
