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 can’t say enough good things about Cotter Funeral Home. My family and I recently trusted them with my mother’s services, and they treated us with such compassion, respect, and genuine care throughout the entire process. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel supported and never rushed. Every detail of the ceremony was handled with sensitivity and professionalism. The facility itself was warm, peaceful and beautifully maintained, providing a comforting atmosphere during a difficult time. I’m deeply grateful for their kindness and guidance. Losing someone you love is never easy, but Matt and his staff made it a little more bearable with their empathy and attention to detail. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy funeral home. Thank you so much Matt Cotter and staff. You did a wonderful job! Wierzchowski & Van Straten family”

“We recently used Cotter when my Dad passed. I can’t say enough about the quality, care and comfort provided by Cotter. The cost was reasonable vs what we had expected. The way they guided us through the process left me feeling cared for and understood. I was comfortable that even in death, Dad was getting excellent care.”
— Charlene Brumbeloe
“Cotter Funeral Home made our experience very pleasant considering the situation of this being my mother's funeral. They were so kind and accommodating to all of our needs and very professional right through the car procession to the cemetery. They helped with every single detail making this as stress free as it could be for me being the one doing the planning. They were always responsive to my emails or phone calls. I drive by Cotter very often but don't look at it as a bad memory being it was my mom's funeral; I actually have a good feeling when I drive by as it was such a great funeral for my mom and her send off to a better place. Thank you Cotter! Matt and staff were great!”
