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
“Jay is one of the kindest funeral directors I have had the pleasure to know. He has always treated each family with the respect and dignity and has gone above and beyond the expectations of what a funeral director has to offer. His kindness and compassion is a great guide to have during the process of grief. You make the world a little brighter, Jay.”

“An extraordinary guide in a time of sorrow. Jay and his team went above and beyond, seamlessly orchestrating every aspect of the service with grace and empathy. Jay’s calm demeanor and adept navigation ensured a meaningful and peaceful farewell for our loved one. Forever grateful for their unwavering support. Thank you to Jay and his team. Dell and Toni Horan”
— Toni Horan
“This place is the best funeral home in Beloit. It really bothers me there’s a negative review on here because it is so misleading. Jay is the most compassionate person I’ve ever worked with in this field. I am an officiant who has done over 25 funerals. He has worked with me at last minute, he has worked with me with extenuating circumstances and always has the same compassion no matter who he is dealing with. We are really lucky to have such a legacy in Beloit with this funeral home as it has been a family business and Jay grew up in the industry and it is very evident . He is a gift to our community and when you lose somebody you love this funeral home is the best resource. Kathy Taylor”
