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
“Worked with Andrea on my father’s cremation, the whole experience was truly the most pleasant experience I could ask for. They picked my father up at the rehab center, the young man was professional and caring, and treated my father with dignity. The whole team was very kind and made the experience much easier then I expected. I would recommend them to all people considering a cremation service. All were professional and kind! Thank you all for everything!”
— Jack HALL
“It’s extremely difficult when a loved one dies. Unexpected deaths can be traumatic. Advantage Funeral and Cremation on the Hilltop of Columbus Ohio can be there for you when there are no easy answers. They have wonderful people that will help you through what is needed for your loved one. They took my loved one to a cemetery over an hour away, and organized everything needed for the on-site burial with the Township Trustees of the cemetery. Nothing but the best was given from them. Thank you for everything and taking care of my family. Diana Welch”

“With my Mom’s recent passing, I certainly appreciate the care and support my family received from Andrea, Hannah and staff at Schoedinger Hill Top Funeral Home. They spent the time we needed in helping us prepare my Mom’s funeral and cremation, they were wonderful to work with during these trying times. They have such a positive attitude and treated us like family. I am thankful we used Schoedinger and I highly recommend you consider them also. Brad W. Columbus, Ohio”
