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
“3 huge losses in 18 months and EVERYONE there was so helpful, kind and gentle. They guide you carefully through this process you wish were not a reality, with grace and tender care. When your brain has exploded from the pain of it all, they provide a safe place to figure out all that is involved when you must say goodbye to your loved one (in my case my beloved Husband, Mom and Dad), with dignity.”
— Teresa Getman
“As her Chiropractor, I got to know Linda quite well. She was a very loving and caring person. I still remember the time she showed up at one of my patient appreciation day parties dressed as a horse with her spouse, Gary, bringing up the rear ( the two of them were in the costume together). She left a wonderful family far too soon. She will be greatly missed.”
— Richard Oberheu
“Jeff and the staff are super professional and very compassionate. They always do a wonderful job with taking care of the many details. I can't say enough about how our family appreciated their care.”
— John Schneider
