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.

“Schramka was professional every step of the way. Any time we had additional questions they were quick to reply. Very accommodating and made the day of the service easy for us so we could focus on family.”
— Becky Madden
“When I walked into Schramkas, in a state of shock from losing my husband, I was greeted by a beautiful smile and a strong supportive hug! I knew immediately Samantha was an angel sent to help me navigate this most difficult time in my, and my families life! It was going to be a difficult burial since Kevin came from a large, somewhat fractured family. Samantha and later joined by Tessa, made the entire experience as stress free as possible, as well as made it as joyful of a celebration as possible. It brought peace to my family and was beautiful from start to end. The web site put together for us by Samantha was gorgeous and still being enjoyed. Both Samantha and Tessa made themselves very available and supportive throughout and after! If I could rate their help higher than a 5 I would. I am very pleased with their service, as is my family. We will definitely be recommending Schramkas, especially Samantha and Tessa as employee's.”
— Elaine Schmitt
“I can’t thank Samantha and Tessa enough for the compassion and genuine care they showed my family during the hardest time. From the very beginning, they made us feel seen and truly cared for. They helped us get through an incredibly hard time and brought such a sense of comfort and familiarity that made everything feel less heavy. They put us at ease, empathized with us, and laughed with us when we shared our stories. I'm forever grateful for the peace they helped bring to my family.”
