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 am extremely satisfied with the customer service provided by Kimmel W. Orville Kimmel Funeral Home, Inc. From the very beginning, our family was treated with respect, compassion, and true professionalism during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. The level of care and attention we received went above and beyond our expectations. They made us feel supported, heard, and guided every step of the way. I am especially grateful that they went above and beyond by helping us secure a donation to help cover funeral expenses, a gesture we will never forget and that truly speaks to their kindness and dedication to the families they serve. I am deeply thankful for their empathy, warmth, and outstanding service. I would highly recommend this funeral home to any family seeking compassionate, dignified, and genuinely caring service. Thanks Ms. Marieanne”

“Maryanne is amazing, she not only took care of my mother but also took care of me as I was (and still am) going through difficult times. She made a beautiful obituary, helped me with the local funeral service. Also, I had to take my mom overseas and Marianne helped with all the required paperwork in a very short notice. Thanks so much!”
