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
“Tim has been awesome every time I have been in contact with him for any help on anything, be it planning our estate or loss of a grandchild. Best ever, wouldn’t hesitate for one second having him handle services for anyone in my family”
— Bri & Deb
“Thelen focused on celebrating Mom's life and brought us peace and comfort. Tim can read people extremely well and knew when to insert humor or give a warm hug. He and his staff were so incredibly kind and made making the arrangements easy while we delt with our grief. They are organized and took care of all the plans. We just had to show up for the funeral and everything was set up beautifully. We did plan some of the arrangements before her passing and that was extremely helpful. We cannot say enough about Tim and his staff. We appreciate them for taking care of us and our dear mother.”
— Kari Niepow
“Tim @ Thelen was wonderful, our son was young when he was killed @ age 42, Tim recommended a minister that was perfect for the service. We had 400 people at the funeral and Tim was busy making everyone comfortable, he was a rock thru this whole ordeal. He kept our conversations light and was able to bring a smile to our face. The funeral home was clean and he did the flower arrangements beautifully... THANK YOU so much. I would recommend your place to anyone.”
— Mike Wein
