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
“Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful and compassionate staff at Wake Funeral & Cremation Services. This was a very difficult time for my family with the loss of our father but Brad, Caitlyn and the entire Team were accommodating and supportive through the entire process. The gentleman that arrived at our home to transport my father were prompt and professional. The communication was exceptional and Caitlyn accommodated our requests to divide my father’s ashes for his children and grandchildren. We did the memorial service at their beautiful mausoleum which was organized and managed perfectly by Brad. Our experience was exceptional and I highly recommend partnering with Wake Funeral & Cremation Services.”
— Drew Hardin
“During one of our most difficult days, Brad was absolutely phenomenal and carried out our son’s funeral with professionalism, love, dignity, and patience. Brad was on top of all of the behind the scene coordination with our church, family, and pastors. I could not recommend his team more.”
