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
“Michael Reinsel, his father, Joe, and Spencer were exceedingly kind, compassionate and expert in taking care of all of the details regarding my husband"s funeral. Our family couldn't have asked for more.They were there for us in every way possible during a most difficult and sorrowful time. So comforting.”
— Christy Szafran
“This is Jill McCauley. I appreciate all that Mr. Reinsel did to provide a wonderful caring funeral and service for my husband. Mr Reinsel was very comforting and sympathetic to my loss and helped make this process easier. He was attentive to my wishes and was accommodating to the disabilities of our various guests. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Reinsel Funeral home. They not only handle your loved one with respect and dignity but will also help you through the process of giving them a beautiful memorial. An extended family member had allergies to the flowers that were present, Mike accommodated them by permitting them to take the folding chairs outside and kept doors open so they could still be part of the service as best they could be. He did a wonderful job of making everyone comfortable. It was how I envisioned it and how I believe that my husband would have wanted it. I have no regrets in choosing Mr Reinsel and Reinsel Funeral Home. Thank you for all you do!!! This is Jill's daughter Jessie Rice. I would give Reinsel Funeral Home 5 stars also. The reason I am on the same review as mom is because she doesnt have a goggle account. Mr Reinsel was AMAZING and Very professional . They were VERY attentive to details in the family's desires and wishes for my father's service. It was EXACTLY how we wished for it to be for my dad The building is spotless and very clean. Reinsel's funeral home has handled the arrangements of my grandparents, my father, my mother wishes for them to do her arrangements when the time comes and I hope to have them handle mine, that is how satisfied we are with their services. Mr. Reinsel goes above and beyond to ease the difficulties of the grieving families.”

“When my mother passed away 8 1/2 years ago, Joe handles everything for us and was phenomenal to work with. Dad passed away 1 /2 months ago and Mike was just as accommodating as his dad was 8 years ago. Mike got is the death certificates we needed, answered our calls promptly and answered questions promptly. Not someplace you want to have to deal with, but a fact of life you do. Reinsel’s really is top of line in dealing with the families.”
