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 sister was at Kesler funeral home and her service was top notch. In January of this year my husband’s service was handled by Kesler. We could not have asked for for a more supportive funeral home. My husband’s service was treated with the upmost respect! Ronnie , Sam, and Clay are the best!”

“My casket peice was too small for the casket. It was open and bare on the back side of the casket. My flowers were 2 hours late. I did not appreciate that. I deserve and am requesting a 100.00 refund due to my emotional destress and inconvenience. From Melissa Marks”
