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 had to wait a week to see my Mom and to sign the papers for her cremation. If we literally had a question we had to call and wait 2 days for an answer. The Young guy answering the phone was not professional at all. I had to repeat my Moms name 5 times in a 3 minute phone call. I mean this is one of the hardest phone calls I have ever had to make and the company can't even be bothered to remember the customers name for 3 minutes. The only good thing was the guy that helped us through the paperwork for the cremation.”
— Michele Fillmore
“I called the day after my brother had passed and immediately found the right place for my brother, Casey was wonderful and helped me to the best of her knowledge. When I arrived on Tuesday for the small service the place was nice, clean and well organized. The gentlemen that helped when i came in (I think Gary) was just as informative as Casey was, he was kind, empathetic and told us to take our time and said whenever you are ready we are not here to rush you, which meant the world to me at the moment , THANK YOU all for making the worst week of my life a little more manageable.”
— Sherrie Paredes
