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
“I am SO happy that my cousin recommended Morris Nilsen Funeral Chapel to me after my dad passed away unexpectedly. They went above and beyond to help me. They were compassionate, accommodating and completely on top of everything. He passed away on Thanksgiving and Stefanie went back to the funeral home that night (right after hosting Thanksgiving dinner) to arrange transportation to bring my dad back “home” from the hospital. She didn’t want him to be alone over the holiday. I couldn’t recommend them enough. They made this process as smooth as it possibly could have been, even including editing a photo from the 70’s to post with his obituary. Thank you Morris Nilsen team 💜”
— Elizabeth Autrey
“The staff here is wonderful, caring and wonderful people. They took care my sister when she past. They made me feel at ease and comfortable. They became good friends.”
— Janet Crews
“I'm not sure how we were so lucky to be connected with Stefanie when my dad passed away, but to say I am grateful is an understatement. Nothing is easy when someone passes, but she walked with us every step of the way with so much compassion and caring. I will never be able to say thank you enough.”
