Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.

“Today, Chad and Zach allowed us to participate in our father’s cremation, as much or as little as we desired. They educated us on the process and today, for the first time, we put a family member to rest by way of cremation while creating new traditions. I felt very comfortable with my dad’s care from the moment he left our home, to the moment he went in for his bodily form’s final rest. I found peace in knowing my father’s last caregivers treated not only him but our family, with dignity. The dignity comes in the form of transparency and genuine care.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gross Funeral Home and Candice Messec! Candice was incredibly kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional, and I can’t imagine how I would have handled all of the details after the loss of my mother without her guidance and patience. Everything from mom’s cremation arrangements, photo slideshow, program, and set up on the day of my mother’s services, were absolutely perfect. Highly recommend using Gross Funeral Home services and recommend you ask for Candice by name (I've used Gross Funeral Home for 2 other loved ones and Candice was my favorite to work with)!”
