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
“Lemke Funeral home was amazing for my mother. Every step of the way they were by my side helping me make sure she had the best service possible. All the drama that happens when someone passes was extremely stressful, and they went out of their way every time to take care of us. Not to mention they are incredibly clean and well taken care of. The funeral home itself is beautiful and a perfect place to have a service. Even after the completion of the funeral, the staff still assist me with any questions I have moving forward in this incredibly unknown process.”
— Lyndsi Godat
“Lemke has done services for our family, recently being my mother's. They are always kind and compassionate and try to make it less stressful when making the preparations and doing the service. Mike and Tina are great people and make you feel more like family then a customer. I highly recommend them.”
— K.C. Whisker-Kelley
“This is the second time we have had to use Lemke Funeral Home in 2 years. Both with my mother and my brother Mike and Tina were the best. They made it very easy to make the tough decisions at a very difficult time. The attention to detail that Mike provides made sure that all of our needs and requests were met. Our family will continue to use Lemke Funeral Home because of the compassion and above the rest care that they provide. Thank you again to Mike and his great staff for providing the utmost care for my mother, brother, and the surviving family members!”
