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 say enough about Garrison and The Good Funeral Home. My mom passed away a little over a month ago. I live two hours away and knew nothing about the process. Garrison guided me from start to finish. He communicated daily with emails, texts, and phone calls. He was very kind and compassionate. He answered all of my questions and helped with anything I needed. The funeral itself was beautiful. I have received many comments from family and friends. They took care of everything from the music, video, flowers, etc. This month has been terribly hard emotionally, but they provided more than I could have ever hoped for. Thank you!”
— Brenda Helwig
“My stepfather,my nephew's funerals we're there and the staff could not have been anymore caring and respectful to our entire family members and friends when it came to caring for our loved ones to make things easier for the family they answered all of the questions we may have had about anything my mother didn't have her service there due to other reasons but she is buried with my stepfather and at peace along with my nephew we have several family members there along with my husband's family members too a few are buried at the Veterans area and I have to say they are a terrific team right down to the gravediggers to everyone that takes so much time and effort to make it a beautiful place to go and pay your respect and if anyone is like me I sit beside my sweet and loving Mother just to be close to her and I talk to her always my sister is is with me almost always because of our mother and it's her son that we had the other service in the funeral home but one last thing I have to give them more stars if I could I would give them a 10 instead of a 5 that's how much I myself anyway thank them for all the hard work they do to make you feel more comfortable God Bless You All Katherine Buterbaugh”
