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 wish there was an option for more than 5 stars. The entire staff of Hultgren Funeral Home has been remarkable, above and beyond, and has made a very difficult time much easier for our family. The initial meeting with Brad was efficient, sensitive, and so so helpful. Brad has been truly amazing. The suggestions made for funeral arrangements were thoughtful and so helpful in a time that we didn’t have the capacity to make decisions like ‘where do the flowers go?’ And other hits like ‘do we have too many pictures?’ The framing of the (many) picture boards was such a nice touch to make everything feel tied together. The staff was so thoughtful to keep us posted on every step of the journey. No one loves to be a “hey I know a funeral home” guy, but, 10/10 across the board. Thank you to everyone at Hultgren Funeral Home for everything you’ve done and continue to do.”
— Kelly Fox
“I never looked for a funeral home until I lost my husband. I didn't know what to ask for, what the process, what the costs. My family and I went to several places nearby and learnt along the way. The third place we found was the Hultgren Funeral Home. We contacted Brad and sat down with him. He was professional, polite, and calm. We knew Brad was the right person we could trust. He delivered everything we asked for. The funeral went well. We were very much appreciated his kindness and respectful. It was the last thing that I could do for my husband and Brad did it so perfectly. Thank you Brad and the team.”

“I would recommend Hultgren. We worked with Brad. He never pressured us or tried to up-sell us on services that we did not want or need. He took the time to listen to our stories and the ways we wanted to honor my mom, as we processed her life and death. Although my family only desired simple services, we were still treated as important. He was especially helpful coordinating with the national cemetery. The costs were on par or slightly below what we expected.”
— Bjorn Johnson
