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.

“I can’t thank Maher Staff enough for the wonderful wake and funeral for my Mother-in-law! Eric, Josh, and Jan are so professional and supportive! Maher used to be the old Tinley Park Library and its mid-century look inside and out is something to see. Also their pricing is good. If you have a loved one who was in the service, you can tell that they are very service oriented. Also, we had paid for her funeral years before and we did not have one problem with them honoring her wishes.”
