Bisch & Son Funeral Home
505 E Allen St, Springfield, IL, 62703
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

“Having lost both my parents within a year and a half, there was no one more compassionate and caring than Phillip Bisch. From the first phone call to when it came time to plan their combined Celebration of Lives, his professionalism, attention to detail, patience, and guidance throughout the entire process was amazing. Phillip really showed his continued excellence for our family when he took time away from his own family to facilitate the service. Not only was Phillip present at the service, but took the time to personally deliver all of the flowers to the reception that followed. His presence and shared grief made a significant impact on our entire family. Thank you Phillip and the entire staff at Bisch for going above and beyond!”
— Kate Kern
“I was VERY happy with my experience at Bisch Funeral Home. We used them for pre-planning and for a graveside burial service. They also facilitated my father's remains to be transported from Ohio to Illinois and it went without a hitch. Phillip personally saw us through the entire process from day 1 of pre-planning to being present at the actual burial service. He guided us every step of the way. He was easily available, responsive, compassionate, organized and efficient! Thank you to Phillip and all the behind the scenes staff who made this possible.”
