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.

“We have used this funeral home for multiple family members that have passed and unfortunately just had to again for my brother in law. Jeff has been absolutely amazing! His kindness and compassion as well as all the help he has given the family has been incredible. When you lose a loved one, your emotions and thoughts are running wild. We found comfort knowing Jeff was taking care of everything. He took such great care of our guy and we are immensely grateful to him. He let us take our time to say our final goodbyes and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Jeff, we appreciate you so much!”
— Michelle Place
“I whole heartedly recommend this place to anyone who needs to plan services. Our family have worked with Jeff many times and will continue to. The care, support and compassion is off the charts. I lost my oldest brother, unexpectedly, and from the moment he left us, Jeff was right there for guidance and a kind shoulder to lean on. I knew my brother was going to be taken care of and treated respectfully. Any request we had, were met. And my brother looked so peaceful. We never had to worry about anything. Everything was taken care of, from the viewing to burial. It gave us time as a family to begin to heal. If I could give them a million stars for a review, I would. They are the absolute best! Thank you so much for the work you do.”
