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
“My husband and I were impressed with a funeral service held by House of Wheat on May 8, 2024 at the VA Dayton National Cemetery. We arrived early and were greeted by the owner, Wayne Wheat with his assistant, Vincent. They arrived by limo on time and were dressed attractively formal, very professional. We had pleasant conversation while waiting for the others to arrive. They went out of their way with kindness to all who attended. They gave a brief and effective service, giving Bill Cotton the recognition he so deserved. They offered assistance following the service and we appreciated their kindness and support. My husband and I thank and highly recommend House of Wheat for any end-of-life services. Sincerely, Jean and Walter Himes (Jeanie and Skip)”

“It is with our deepest heartfelt thanks that we thank the staff of House of Wheat for their service. What was one of the most difficult and saddest time of our lives was made bearable because of your extreme compassion, gentleness and patience. Ann was very patient as we worked through many different funeral options and accepted phone calls to discuss each one. An excellent example of someone who helps make a devastating situation into one that is filled with care & truly makes you relaxed & calmer and able to deal with the death of a loved one. Stacy conducted himself in a very professional manner, truly kind and caring to our needs and could not have been any more helpful at a very difficult time. Everything was wonderful. Tony did an outstanding job. His attention to detail impressed all of us. Very kind and caring to our needs. He truly looked peaceful after all he had been through during his last few weeks. Thank you for making this a peaceful experience. Thank you all so much for your expert guidance and gentle humanity. We will remember the funeral as perfect in every way, largely because of how you cared for us on such a personal level. We are grateful to you beyond words. God bless you all!
