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.

“Excellent location for a memorial service. Friendly and homey feels inside adds a touch of warm. Thank you for offering a safe space for my family to gather and mourn my grandma, Betty. Private rooms are available for guests. Plenty of closet space to hang up coats. Easily seats 100 guests. Coffee, tea and water station are set up inside. There’s a large round table in the foyer that can hold gifts, plants and can be used to write letters of condolence. The people who run this place are very professional and kind. They have facilitated thousands of services and are well-prepared to handle specific needs and requests. Bathrooms are large and spacious.
