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
“If your asking for more...they will do it...if your asking for less...they are on board. Their unconditional support and amazing attention to detail was shown when my mom passed away. My mom was a beautiful high energy woman who never let a minute go. She never went a day without one of us. They supported our time of mourning with her and allowed us to do so without the stress of planning. All thanks to Tucker who made this experience easy. He guided us down the necessary paths to not only feel seen but to honor our mom the way she deserves. We cannot thank Tucker, Malesich & Shirey for their amazing dedication to honoring our mom and for the beautiful service we had. Echoing the love and thank you to Tucker for taking on our crazy...no filter...Gomez family.”

“I recently worked with Tucker at Malesich and Shirey Funeral Home as a funeral director sending a loved one to Denver. Tucker was extremely kind and helpful. He made me feel at ease knowing that the family I was working with would be well taken care of on the other side. I highly recommend working with Tucker whether you are a funeral home or a loved one making arrangements.”
— Star Mortuary
“Dad’s graveside service turn out to be a wonderful experience. The Malesich and Shirley team played a major role in the beauty and peace of the day. They did a great job and demonstrated sensitivity and servant hearts as they were extremely helpful before, during, and after the service. Tucker even helped by getting the most beautiful spray for Dad’s casket. I would highly recommend Malesich and Shirley and will not hesitate to use them again when needed!”
