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
“I came out here on behalf of a client that has a disability and is not able to visit regularly. I spent half an hour walking the grounds having to uncover headstones because they've been buried by dead grass and overgrowth. I had to bring my own brush to uncover names on headstones. I was able to find it in a patch of grass that had not been mowed or weed eated. Whomever they have tending the grounds needs to do a better job at upkeep. Many older headstones have sunken into the ground and are cracked into four pieces. If this is the care and compassion they show to deceased loved ones, then I weep for every person who visits here trying to find someone they loved. It should not be up to visitors or family to maintain the grounds.”

“Today my father died, 11-11-66. Fifty seven years ago! How unhappy I was today of days Veterans day that two places in the cemetery had no American flag up. Only the office. You need to do a better job and have the singing tower playing for visitors today?”
— John Olsen
“Went on Memorial day weekend. They had a info tent outside that I stopped and asked if someone was buried there. The very nice young lady in the info tent couldn't find myperson but said to go inside, because computer might be more up to date than looking at a paper roster. I went inside and asked the lady if she could look someone up for me. She said " didn't they do that outside for you?"I said that they had told me to come inside because computer might be more updated. The lady then said " They need to quit telling people that." After that I told her to forget it at that point because she was so rude. She said " no I want to help you and proceeded to look up my friend. Of course by then she was sickiningly sweet , complemented my dress and told me to have a great memorial day. I have been coming to Mount Hope for years putting flowers on graves and asking for info.. never has anyone been so rude and made me feel like a fool when I was TOLD to go in there. I will never go in to ask for info again.”
