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
“When we went to order the tombstone for our daughter and ourselves, we were immediately pleased with the people who helped us. They were kind, patient and very professional. We knew we were in good hands. It is very emotional to choose a stone for your child. But the staff at Birkmeier made it a positive experience. When we went to view the actual tombstone at the cemetery, we couldn’t have been happier. It was exactly what we wanted. Birkmeier made a challenging situation a great moment. We would definitely encourage others to use this amazing business.”

“Our monument for our parents was done by Birkmeier. It is a beautiful stone. We were impressed by both the professionalism and caring by everyone there. Any question we had was addressed promptly. We had renderings of the stone the following to review. They also called us immediately when the stone was set. Highly recommend.”
