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 cannot thank John Ligda enough for the care and compassion he showed my family. From the very beginning he was patient, communicative, and truly kind. He guided us through every step and made an incredibly difficult time easier to handle. What stood out most was how much he cared about honoring my dad and making sure we felt supported the entire way. It never felt transactional, it felt personal. I am so grateful for everything John did for us and I would recommend him to anyone who needs not only professionalism but also real compassion during such a hard time.”
