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
“9 years ago I arranged a funeral for a life long friend who died in Tucson, but burial was to be at Ft. Snelling. I chose Gill Brothers because my dad had his funeral pre arranged with Gill and I had some familiarity. Our Funeral Director in Tucson was great, and coordinated with Gill seamlessly in terms of travel for Grant and Gill made arrangements at Ft. Snelling for a Military Honors funeral. THIS TIME, recently, my dad was the one to go... His funeral planned nearly 2 decades ago. He was old and had morbidities, yet his death was unexpected. Like Grant, there was some after life travel necessary for Steve, I called Gill to inquire about managing such arrangements and was put in touch with Abbie, our Mostest Mortician! She did a superb job from the first minute to the last - And it required several significant skill sets to be certain. She went above and beyond the call of duty... I'm confident she'll be handling more of our family funerals in the future... Maybe even mine ? Although, I suspect I'll 🎶 "die along the highway and rot away, like some old high line pole" 🎶 - Merle Haggard 🎸 Gill Brothers comes highly recommended 👈”

“Dan and his staff were absolutely amazing. From the moment we called as we were still at the hospital, Dan personally gave us his number in case we had any questions or concerns. He was incredibly attentive, keeping us informed every step of the way regarding our daughter’s remains and the entire process. We were especially touched by how quickly everything was handled—receiving our daughter’s remains back within just 36 hours of us leaving the hospital. We are so grateful for the care and compassion we received. Highly recommend.”
