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 am very grateful to Schneider funeral home. They were great from the start , The two girls, one being ( Zoe ) who came and got my mother from home when she passed away on June - 3 - 24, were so kind, professional , and sincere. myself and my brother started the process of arranging her funeral. we worked with Nicole , one of the funeral directors, and she was such a blessing that she went above and beyond her job. Nicole is the most sincere and compassionate person that I have come in contact with in a very long time! She was very patient and so helpful from the beginning to the end of my mother's funeral. I could not have gotten through my mother's funeral without her support and her team. I would recommend anyone who loves their loved one to go to Nicole she has the most beautiful heart and genuinely cares about your loved one. Thank you so very much, Nicole & all of your team. Heidi 🙏”

“I just wanted to leave a review and let Nicole know what a heaven send she was in this process. No one wants to have to go through this process let alone for a child. She was so helpful and compassionate from the very beginning. Everyone there went above and beyond to ensure our baby made it their safe and kept Me updated the entire process. They provided these services completely free for our miscarriage, I will be forever thankful for them during this difficult process. Even after I picked our baby up, the women I met with said do not hesitate to call if you need anything even if it’s 3am. They deserve more than 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you guys so much I am forever thankful for you, I could tell our baby was in the best hands 100% of the time.”

“Very grateful for the entire team and Schneider. But most importantly I'm so grateful for Aaron. He brought a level of comfort he was able to bring my mom during this very sad time. Everyone has been very kind and caring and I'm so glad this is the place we chose to take care of my stepdad.”
