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
“Our experience with Conleys was spot on from the first phone call to the last. Each detail leading to the completion of the puzzle was easy, painless as possible and precise. I mainly worked with Cheryl and she was very calm, tender and patient with me throughout the process. Thank goodness for people who can take such a difficult circumstance and handle it all with such professionalism, sensitivity and compassion. Ben finished the puzzle the day of the funeral, again he too did so with a wonderful prayer that truly puts life into perspective, pointing out what really matters in life. If and when the time comes, Conley’s will be the family operation I will certainly contact.”
— Anne Gorenz
“We cannot say enough about what Conley Funeral Home means to us. The care and support they have given our family is beyond what we would have expected. They guide us through the process and are always available to answer any call. The life story of our loved one that Ben captured just by talking to us and getting to know him was beautiful and all our friends and family will cherish this loving memorial. This is not about running a business, it is about loving our family through the most difficult time in our lives.”
— Barbara Dudzinski
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience during a very difficult time when my father passed away. Ben, Leah and the other staff members were so caring, compassionate, thorough and willing to do anything we asked of them. My mom and I met with Leah when we knew my dad didn't have much time left. It was so helpful to understand what decisions needed to be made and what to expect. After he passed away, we communicated frequently by phone, text and email, and everything went very smoothly. They did a terrific job putting together a video of photos we provided and producing a memory book with his obituary and photos we selected. The funeral home itself is so lovely and recently remodeled. We held my dad's funeral there, and it has a nice homey atmosphere versus being a being vast room I've seen at other funeral homes. Finally, one of the things we were most impressed with was how much attention and care they gave to the grandchildren in our family. Ben gave them a talk before the funeral, explaining death in a way that was very relatable and heart-warming, and they were included in the grave-side service in a way that was very special. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated this extra care.”
