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
“Behrens Wilson funeral home has been our family's choice for over 60 yrs. Recently when we had two uncles pass away several days apart Behrens Wilson was the best choice once again. Wade is very knowledgeable and he helped us with many options. He worked within our budget and navigated us through a very hard and trying time. It's also important to me that Behrens Wilson is a family owned business not a big corporation.”
— Joel H
“Wade Wilson and Sally were absolutely wonderful to work with! Very professional and sweet! I highly recommend using their services. We started planning our Dad's funeral on Friday morning, and we had the service Monday morning. We were so worried about the short time frame. I ended up needing to contact them at all hours of the day and they were so accomodating! It could not have been a better experience at such a difficult time! Don't hesitate to call them. They really will take care of everything!”
— Monica Iverson
“I work withnewborns & infants, and I know how challenging it can to find a balance between professionalism and amity, while witnessing another family's private tribulations. Behrens Wilson did an amazing job, and was the perfect choice for my family when a much-loved-one was wrenched from us recently. Additionally, they provided us with what we asked for and made sure we knew what they had on offer, without a hint of the sales-ey-ness of so many of their competitors. 100 ☆'s.”
