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.

“We cannot thank Steve, Jeff, Bob, and Marie enough for everything they did for us during the difficult time of my sister’s passing. The kindness, the caring, the support, the ease of planning, and bringing attention to details that we were unable to recognize during a difficult time was more than any of our family could have asked for. My entire family is beyond grateful for the beautiful service and the extra mile Downs Funeral Home went to make this as smooth and as memorable as possible. It was perfect in every way, right down to the heartfelt surprise they had for us at the cemetery. 💜💜💜”
