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
“They did a wonderful job of caring for my family during this awful time in our lives. They were efficient. They made things very easy for us. Everyone was very professional and very sweet and seemed like they genuinely cared about our mother. My mother would’ve been very proud of the funeral we put on for her, She would’ve thought it was very classy. It was perfect. Well as perfect as a funeral could be.”
— Donut Head
“As a funeral director from another state, I knew just what to look for when I found myself in need of services. I sought out a family-owned funeral home to help me honor my father who passed away just before Christmas. Even before his passing, my initial interaction with Rachel Barker assured me that I had found the right place. Rachel was immediately compassionate and sympathetic. As we moved into the planning stages, she remained available, responsible, and flexible -making adjustments to our travel schedules allowing our family the closure needed. She went above and beyond the call of duty. From the kindness of those who picked my dad up from hospice to David, the music technician, each team member played a part in revering and creating a beautiful celebration of my dad’s life. Thank you Rachel and the great folks at Paquelet Funeral Home.”

“I lost my mom on October 11 and before she passed I have heard of how great Paquelet is and I was amazed on how above and beyond they helped me make this service to honor not just my mom, but also my dad who died in April of this year. This is the worst year of my life, but I will forever be thankful for Paquelet and making sure that my parents get honored with love just as much as they did with me and the rest of my family and friends. Thank you, Paquelet. Absolutely deserves 5 stars.”
