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 family has always used Oltmann Funeral Home. The staff there is very helpful and considerate. Jeff was so nice and thoughtful while seeing to the details of my mother's funeral. We really appreciated how he handled her final arrangements. He was both professional and compassionate, which helped us honor mom one final time.”
— Wendy Beard
“Losing our dad was the hardest time of our lives, but the people at Oltmann Funeral Home helped in so many ways… some, they may not even be aware of. They came to console our family when they picked him up from our home after passing away. They didn’t just walk us through the funeral process… they walked WITH us as we navigated this devastating time. Jeff was truly amazing… kind hearted, caring, understanding, efficient, knowledgeable… the list could go on and on! There is no one else I would ever even think about spending these rough times in our life with.”

“Unsympathetic staff. The makeup person made my loved one look like a zombie. The skin tone was greenish brown. It was awful. Mr. Mooney seemed like It was a bothersome to have to interact with me. The day after the visitation at the burial he never looked at me, said hello or even offered a hand shake. I have written the funeral home and never received a response. DURING THE ACTUAL funeral they called me into an office to get a check from me. No problem, I gave them one. Later I found out my sister had generously paid my half of the bill for me. My son's mother as to pay for half of this funeral. That was not communicated to me, and a year later they sent me to collections even though I had paid 3/4 of the bill. It's sick and Mr. Mooney was at the burial the next next day and said to my father : I hope Tim will be okay and doesn't kill himself." How messed up is that!? He had absolutely no reason to think this and went out of his way to make sure he biked me out of more money and avoided me during the burial. Shame on him.them.”
