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
“My father recently passed away and we had his services on Dec 18th & 19th. My mother and our family decided to go through Mount Olivet which is a very well known funeral home. I wanted to give a special thank you to our funeral director, Joan Birmingham. She is truly a gem. She took great care of us during the most difficult time in our life. She was caring and very patient with us. She also ensured the funeral was exactly how we wanted which meant so much to us. I highly recommend Mt Olivet and thank you so much to Joan. Probably one of the best funeral directors in the business. We’ll never forget you.”

“My father recently passed and we worked with Joan Birmingham and August Arms to prepare his funeral during a very difficult and gut-wrenching time - the most difficult experience one can face in life. Joan’s steadfast compassion and commitment to honor my dad in his own very special way provided me with so much comfort and support. Joan is an incredible woman and she helps you process the death of a loved one with deep thought and genuine consideration through the funeral planning process. August has strong attention to detail because she listens and fully absorbs the needs of the departed which helped our family identify a special spot to lay my dad to rest. Both Joan’s and August’s genuine sympathy and compassion ease the process in ways that can’t be explained but that are deeply felt and appreciated. Highly recommend both Joan and August should you need to handle a death of a loved one.”

“My parents are buried at Mother Cabrini mausoleum and for the last 27 years I have had nothing but a great experience. I live out of state and they have taken care of my request from flower placement to replacing a lost flower vase. My current visit May 15, 2025 I had the pleasure of meeting Johnny and Gary they were both assisted me with my flower placement. They had to climb up a ladder because the vase was stuck and they placed the wreaths for. I appreciate Johnny and Gary for all their help and the ladies at the front desk.”
