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.

“I suddenly lost my father on 4/30/2024. I was blessed to work with this establishment. Funeral director, Christian Biester, was phenomenal to work with. He was in constant communication and was extremely understanding. He went above and beyond to assist me during this difficult process especially since I reside in another state. Everyone's situation is different and with that being said, Butherus Maser & Love are extremely flexible to accommodate most situations if not every. I highly recommend working with this establishment.”
