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.

“From the planning time to my mother's passing, Schmidt and Bartelt Funeral Home in Mukwonago was top notch. They were very friendly and helpful. They walked us through the process since this was the first time we've been through this. Angie guided us through the process, made my mother beautiful in the casket, and was very reachable when we had questions. Mike and staff helped us through all the steps the day of the funeral, at the church, and afterwards. They were the perfect people during our time of need. It's good to know they were there for us. I highly recommend them!”

“Seven weeks ago dad died unexpectedly. Arrangements for mom 13 years ago was with Schmidt and Bartelt so they were contacted. Mike was compassionate, thoughtful, and went above and beyond with all the arrangements. With a final resting Military service up north Mike used contacts out of town and took added stress off the family. We feel like Mike is family after all he did, it wasn't just his job which we are truly grateful for. Dad got a remarkable send off. Thank you so much during this difficult time.”
— Linda Thornton
“My family recently worked with Mike and the Schmidt & Bartelt team to lay my dear mom to rest. Mike was a good listener and very responsive to our needs. He also showed a high degree of professionalism and detail in all of our interactions. He made a very challenging time a little less difficult.”
