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 have begun the somewhat daunting task of advance planning for my funeral. Working with Mio Gabrillo of Chicago Jewish Funerals has made this undertaking exponentially easier. From the outset, Mio has been both warm and professional. He has responded to my questions and decision changes with patience and kindness. The whole pre-planning experience has been easier and more productive than I could have imagined. I am feeling confident that my decisions are completely right for me. I trust that when the time comes my children will be able to carry out my wishes with sound assistance. I recommend Chicago Jewish Funerals without reservation.”
— Kay Ariel
“My family and I can not say enough about the professionalism and compassion shown to us during this difficult time in our lives. I cant say enough about Mio at the Skokie, IL. location, who held my hand through the pre-arrangement process for my brother. Mio was always courteous and compassionate. The numerous times during the process where I was over come with emotion, Mio's consoling words were reassuring . When the time came for my family to utilize the services at Chicago Jewish Funerals everything ran so smoothly. The Funeral Directors, Jacquelyn and Rueben were so wonderful and showed so much compassion towards my family. My family resides in another state, so it meant a lot to us that everything ran so smoothly during this very difficult time. Professionalism, Compassion, Warmth...the pinnacle of Chicago Jewish Funerals' Staff.”
— Terri Logan
“Recently I met with staff from Chicago Jewish funerals in order to deal with a non funeral related issue. Honestly, I have never worked with a company that was so caring and understanding. They took the time to answer all my questions via phone, email and... they even came to my house on a freezing cold and icy evening in order to discuss everything with me. They made sure I completely understood all that we had talked about. I highly recommend using Chicago Jewish funerals.They really are the most compassionate and kindhearted people. I only wish that all companies would operate like Chicago Jewish Funerals. It really is the "Way it should be".”
