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
“The staff at the Belmont location were very helpful, professional and supportive during a very difficult time for me and my family. Our questions were answered and they communicated what we could expect and then followed through and exceeded our expectations. The following may be an unusual aspect to include but the preparation of my mom was SO well done that many friends and family commented on how good she looked; no cakey, orange make up-just peaceful and beautiful. A special kudos to Dana for her professional, supportive assistance in the midst of the loss of my dear, sweet mom.”
— Michelle Balcom
“MKD was a true savior during the time following my stepfather’s passing. From my very first call, I spoke with Dana, who was incredibly caring and took the time to go over the initial details to help prepare us for the funeral service. When we met with Matthew, he carefully reviewed the final arrangements, helping us choose the casket, service details, and even the luncheon food afterward. He never pressured us into anything we didn’t want, and in the end, the cost was less than we had expected. Everything was set up seamlessly and went smoothly. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, MKD made the experience easy and truly hassle-free.”
— Yvonne Fuller
“10 out of 10 experience working with MKD. Everyone our family worked with or came in contact with was unbelievably caring, respectful and professional. Loosing our dad was hard, but they made this difficult time for us a lot lighter with their kindness and experience.”
— Kelsey R
