DeVol Funeral Home

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
“When my mom died in the middle of the night I did not know what to do, and I called DeVol just to see if they had a recording of some sort that could be helpful. The person who picked up the phone could not have been nicer, and she had the director call back a few minutes later who was also gracious and authentic and gave clear step by step instructions for what to do. The follow up meeting and proceedings were all handled by Kyle Nipper, the director, and he was very clear, authentic, and capable. He respected my mother's and my family's wishes; the whole thing felt as comfortable and straightforward as it could - just nothing to worry about. I recommend them highly.”
— Susie O'Mara
“I found the staff to be most professional and at the same time compassionate and friendly. I was especially pleased that they did not try to influence me to make any decisions regarding my sister.”
— Alfredo Benavides
“DeVol treated my mom with great care and dignity. The whole experience was easy and exactly the price that I had planned for years earlier when I prepaid for their services.”
— Frank Finamore
