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
“The Kaniewski ‘s funeral home is such a beautiful and lovely place where we held our Mothers service recently. The attention to detail, organization, and professionalism was outstanding. We cannot thank Mike, Tim, Leona and the rest of the Kaniewski family enough for their upmost caring, generosity, and empathy during such a difficult time in our lives. Everything was perfectly planned, and they made us feel so special with all of the little extra touches they provided. The Kaniewski’s are truly angels for everything they did for our family. We cannot thank them enough.”
— Kellie Koszyk
“Our family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our funeral director Tim Kaniewski, Mike Kaniewski, Leona Koszyk and the entire Kaniewski family for their guidance, patience, graciousness and sincere empathy in honoring our beloved Mom. Everything went perfectly and our Mom’s service was absolutely beautiful! They were so considerate of our feelings and their kindness is limitless. They made a very sad and difficult time more tolerable and they will always hold a special place in our hearts.”
— Kimberly Kalman
“The place is beautiful. Well taken care of and clean. But when I walk in and see my mother-in-law's name totally wrong on the podium showing which direction it was absolutely heartbreaking!. Luckily we went early and made them change it from Donna to Diana. Please pay attention to these very important aspects of any funeral. Professionalism is needed. At least they changed it.”
