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
“We lost our Dear Sweet Mom last month during the Christmas season. As you can imagine, it brought many emotions especially during a holiday season. I am beyond grateful for all the staff at Staab Funeral Home, especially Paul, Lauren and Grace who continuously provided caring, professional, dedicated and endless support as we navigated the details and emotions of my mom's funeral. They followed us along the path for which I was not familiar with as this is the first time I lost a close close family member. From the moments just after her death, to the moments just before and during the funeral, I knew I could rely on Paul and Lauren. They were right there when we had questions or if there were any awkward, tough or sad moments. Even weeks after the funeral, the staff contacted me to check on how I was doing. I am just beyond grateful as words cannot describe how helpful this is and how comforting this is after losing a loved one. I did not expect this kind of exemplary support. On top of that, my mom looked absolutely beautiful at the visitation and I am confident my Mom is smiling down and at peace knowing her service and funeral were as beautiful as can be. Thank you Staabs from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget how my family was treated during this hard hard time. Thank you.”
— Teresa O'Sullivan
“Losing both of my parents in less than one year was very difficult on our family, but having all arrangements pre planned with Staab Funeral Home took all of stress away as far as the visitation, funeral, and memorial service. Staab has continued to be a resource for us even after the funeral. They are a truly caring and professional service provider.”
— Scot Crawford
“The compassion and care they showed my sister and me and my brother was over the top. We asked them to make our mom beautiful and they certainly did just that. Every hair was in place just like she would have wanted. Her nails were done beautifully as well. Our mom went to her final resting place to meet her husband and I'm sure he was as pleased as we were. We can't think Staab enough for the care and love they showed our entire family. From the second they picked our mom up at home until the end of her funeral we couldn't have been more pleased.”
— Deb Sockel
