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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 met with John earlier in the week to plan my dad’s funeral, and from the very beginning he was not only thoroughly professional, but made us feel like we were sitting with an old friend. During an incredibly difficult time, his kindness and guidance meant more than we can express. The funeral home itself was immaculate, and my dad’s body was amazingly prepared. Every detail was handled with care and respect, and everything flowed smoothly from start to finish. My heart is filled with gratitude for John and everyone at Lutz Funeral Home for making such a painful experience feel peaceful and well cared for.”
— Todd Hummel
“Lutz Funeral Home, led by John Lutz and his incredible team, is the epitome of compassion, professionalism, and care. They recently handled services for both my father-in-law and, just six weeks later, my mother. Despite the emotionally challenging circumstances, John and his team made the entire process so much easier for our family. From the very first interaction, it was clear that they genuinely cared about us. John guided us every step of the way with expertise and understanding, ensuring we had everything we needed to honor our loved ones. They kept our families comfortable throughout, making a difficult time as stress-free as possible. A special mention goes to the Rev. Barry Moyer, who spent time getting to know our family and our loved ones’ stories. His heartfelt and personalized eulogies were beautiful tributes that brought comfort to everyone who attended. John and his team exceeded all expectations, providing exceptional service for both of our family members. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine dedication to their work truly stood out. I cannot recommend Lutz Funeral Home enough for anyone navigating such a difficult time. Thank you, John, Barry, and the entire Lutz team, for your incredible support and compassion.”

“Picking Lutz funeral home for my mom’s funeral was the best decision. They were wonderful with everything. I’m on a budget and they helped me to make my mom’s funeral beautiful without the extra cost. They explained things to me and made sure I was ok as well. The funeral was perfect, and my mother looked beautiful. Lutz will forever have my business and I highly recommend them for this occasion. Thank you so much for making this day perfect!”
