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
“My mother passed away in Florida a couple of weeks ago but she wanted to have her last Mass in Chambersburg PA before her cremation. Jeremy Shoemaker of Thomas L. Geisel Funeral Home worked with the family to make a seamless transit of Irma Williams from Florida to Pennsylvania. They delivered on their promise of making sure every detail was taken care of by them. Their professionalism and care did not go unnoticed by my sister and brother. It is very comforting to know that we had a funeral home that truly had our mother’s last intentions in mind and went above the call of duty to make it happen. We are very grateful for your service. Mike & Kathy Williams”

“The Schoenleber family would like to thank the Thomas L. Geisel Funeral Home for their extraordinary care, compassion and comfort in the passing of my mother. The loss of a loved one can be a difficult process and the time, care, effort and patience that the Thomas L. Geisel Funeral Home showed my family was remarkable. I felt like they were part of the family through it all. Tommy II spent quality time with my family, especially my father, in the grieving process of our loss which was instrumental to our family moving forward. I was amazed at the professionalism and "down to earth" feel that Tommy II demonstrates while he, so called "works." The entire process and experience was very moving. Thank you Tommy II for your heartfelt care and support. We give you our deepest gratitude.”

“I had the privilege of singing for a dear friend's mother at Park Geisel. I was amazed and so pleased with the positive concern that everyone showed me. This company truly cares for their clients and families. I am from Shippensburg and all of my family chose a Shippensburg firm. Because my husband and I knew a gentleman who worked at Park Geisel whom we really trusted, we chose PG with our own funeral arrangements. After working with them as a soloist, I feel so blessed to know that they will be handling everything for my husband and me. I feel safe knowing that our children will not be burdened by unnecessary confusion. I cannot say enough about the care they show.”
