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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“My youngest brother was indigent and passed away at St Marks Hospital in May, 2024. His remains were sent to Wiscombe Mortyary I asked how I could get some of his ashes. I was told in no uncertain terms that I could not receive his ashes unless I was willing to pay over $1000 in addition to the money the state was paying them for cremation. I'm 80 years old and on a fixed income. I don't have an extra $1000 floating around. In addition, there was some question about his missing belongings. I know there was cash, a phone, and some other valuables. St. Mark's said they always send a person's belongings to the mortuary with the body. The mortuary said they didn't receive the belongings. I don't know if they did or didn't. I do know St. Mark's investigator researched the matter and everyone said they were sent with my brother's body to the mortuary. I know I will NEVER recommend them to any of my friends or family. Not because of the belongings, but because they try to shake the family down to get more money for a procedure that doesn't cost them any more to perform.”
