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 children and I worked primarily with Matthew and Lisa . They were both very kind and caring. They listened to our concerns, our wants and needs and made suggestions when we were unsure or too sad to make hard decisions. Lisa was on top of each and every thing that came up without being pushy. I know they work with families like ours every day but they treated us like we were the only family grieving during this horrible time.”
— Teri Schillinger
“Very pleased with the entire experience. Upon removing my wife's body from home, a long stemmed red rose was left on her bed, along with a sympathy card. Nice touch. Mike Matthysse was very professional, and made sure each worker took care of all our wishes.”
— Art Birdsley
“No one told us where to put the check for the burial and didn’t give us the death certificate. Then they wanted us to go pick them up, we said no they should have told us what to do. The lady who brought them entered my home, past my daughter-in-law without being invited in. They cut the line off before my friends and family could come to me. There seems to be a big communication issue with the lady. This is no time to be messing up. Very disturbing experience.”
— Cherie Van Klompenberg
