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.

“A sudden unexpected death of a loved one and it being impossible for the mother of the deceased to attend the funeral, made Milwaukee Cremation a excellent choice for our family. Everything is completed online! Mind you I am no young woman and needed assist with the process but once I understood it I was fine. The staff was kind, compassionate and understanding. The cost of the Cremation was very affordable for our limited budget with professionalism, compassion and quality. I recommend them!”
