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
“Couldn't speak more highly of the experience we had with Biega's Funeral Home. Incredibly kind and attentive staff who supported our family with the utmost care at every step.”
— Heather Heath
“We have had two bad experiences at this funeral home. They are overpriced with very poor customer service. When my grandmother passed away, my wife and I planned the funeral. The entire time, they tried to get us to spend more money. They kept telling us about the more expensive options that were part of her late husband’s funeral. We were met with an attitude when we turned those options down. Then when my father passed away the customer service was even worse. They forgot to publish his obituary. Then the prayer cards had three typos. Both these things are unacceptable to me. It just shows that you take no pride in your work. My mother has already planned to have her funeral with them when the time comes. I can only imagine what that experience will be like.”
— Brent Mount
“My father passed away the week before last and we reached out to Biega for his services. Joe was fantastic. He walked us through each step of the process and even did a lot of the work (locating DD214 doc, etc) that was out of the normal scope. Having never been through this type of loss, Joe and his team made everything so much easier, and they did it with a caring voice and ear. I highly recommend using Biega Funeral Home!”
