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.

“The professionalism and compassion from everyone we worked with was unmatched. We were offered many options, prices, and were encouraged to pursue the exact service we desired.

“Friendly staff and knowledgeable of the process. Respectful, patient and compassionate. Lauren, Funeral Director at Broad Ripple location was a professional and pleasure to work with before, during, and afterward as we had a need to fly my mother back home to Georgia for her final resting. Their embalming process was wonderful. My mother looked just like her picture we provided; down to the hair style that they had to cut and style a wig. My family in Georgia and Florida were impressed and happy she looked great as if she was normally sleeping. They shipped her well protected in her casket on the cargo plane that my mother didn’t require any touch-up by the receiving funeral home. The casket also was not damaged during shipment. They ensured her body and casket was respected as well. Flanner Buchannan is a great selection if you have a unique need or the usual process. They made the process smooth and easy as this is always a tough time for families to navigate.”
