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 gratitude to Todd for the compassionate, kind, and professional way he handled my best friend’s mother’s funeral. Her funeral was held several hours away to be closer to her home. Despite the distance from Iowa Falls, the service was beautiful and seamless. Todd's grace and compassion were evident throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend this funeral home enough. Thank you, Todd.”
