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 cannot express enough, what a great job you and your staff did to help my family through this tough time. From the day of the service your dedication to detail made such an impression on me . From wearing my brothers favorite team hat and team socks. My beautiful Niece had to put all this together and with your help it came out so beautiful. All the staff were very compassionate and caring. The arrangement of flowers and plants were set just right. Sincerely, Colleen Bayer Norris & family”

“Used this funeral home in the past, however one of their employees Anthony J Morris has recently posted some truly awful posts on Facebook, calling for the execution of Americans that have different political beliefs than him. I do not feel comfortable or safe working with a funeral home going forward that employs people who wish death on others. Super unsettling this man is a funeral director… It’s a shame because the other staff have always been kind and supportive.”
— Faith M
