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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“The members of this funeral home are amazing! We used their services for my Dad and they were great. Few years later my nephew was in a freak accident at work we choose to use them again , Year later father in law passed away in his sleep, Then mother in law passed 6 months later, They were amazing with cremation of all of our family members! The entire staff is very polite and compassionate and patient.”

“Schmidt-Haller Burial and Cremation Service was so wonderful during the recent loss of my father. They were caring, sensitive and prompt. They answered all of our questions and had services that were included that we did not realize would be so important. They gave us time to process, but also knew some things needed to be done promptly. I appreciated having an announcement online which could be changed or added to with just a call to their staff. Thanks so much for you help during this difficult time.”

“Everyone I have dealt with Missy and Colleen have been absolutely the best. My family has used their services a few times. Always top of their game. I just set up my own arrangements and also for my sister. The personal service you receive is heartwarming. Thank you 😊”
