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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 recently had the difficult task of arranging a funeral for my brother. After researching and comparing several funeral homes, we chose Glenwood Funeral Home due to their affordability and newly renovated facilities, including updated bathrooms and flooring. The new owner, John Tswv Nyiaj, was incredibly attentive, flexible, and responsive, making the entire process much smoother than I expected. His compassion and professionalism were greatly appreciated during a challenging time. While I hope no one has to go through this experience, I highly recommend John Tswv Nyiaj and Glenwood Funeral Home to anyone in need of their services. They provided us with dignity, respect, and support during a difficult time.”

“The funeral itself is a good size at its price. I believe its one of the cheapest funeral home to rent for the weekend, considering us Hmong people usually have a 3day session. Anything the owner said voluntarily i wouldnt consider it. Now if its a service that is included with the rental, then I expect it. Over all its very spacious with a couple bathroom stalls. I give credit to whomever the caretaker is. One of my friends used to be the caretaker here and the owner is not the best person to be working for. Then again the owner was a decent person.”
— Mai Lor
“It was big enough, though the owners/managers didn't help with the planning. Like they rented it out for the weekend and left! Luckily grandma was surrounded by love.”
