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
“Marianne handled our father's funeral arrangements exceptionally well. She was called upon during a challenging time for our family, with only days to organize everything, yet she managed it effortlessly. Taking full control, she arranged and set everything up on a Saturday afternoon. We have attended many funerals, but have never witnessed such outstanding arrangements and setup. Marianne introduced a wonderful idea by incorporating our father's personal items into the arrangement. It was truly beautiful, and we are grateful to Marianne as we could not have done it without her. Our family sincerely appreciates your help. Thank you, and may God bless you!”
