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
“Ruck funeral home was exceptional at a time where I could barely think. They went over every charge and did a few favors for me when my son died unexpectedly . I am not sure why people gave them bad reviews years ago. I found them to be sympathetic and understanding.”
— Marie Durling
“Ruck did an absolutely amazing job for our family with my Dad's death. They were kind, patient and compassionate and my Dad looked the way he did before he was hospitalized. We greatly appreciate all they did and highly recommend them.”
— Michelle Smith
“When our daughter passed away from ovarian cancer at the age of 43 we wanted the best care for our girl. There was never a question of which funeral home we were going to entrust her to-Ruck Funeral Home. The beautiful, sensitive way they handled all the arrangements for the viewing, the Celebration of Life and delivery of the casket for the interment validated to us that we had made the right decision. Thank you, Michael Ruck. God bless you and your staff.”
— Victor Brick
