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
“Can't say enough about our experience with Mothe's. My father passed at home with hospice, we were all there distraught. DJ came to pick him up, it was late in the night. DJ was so compassionate and respectful. From the manner in which they transferred my dad and had him presented before they left the house with him, to the very respectful way they drove away. And Shannon, the funeral director, couldn't have been more gentle and respectful in the way she presented everything to us all the way to the way she let us see him one last time in a private parlor. We had a much better memory of seeing my dad for the last time verses when he was in his last hours at home. We had my dad cremated and even in the manner he was given to us. My family is grateful for Mothe's and their personal and respectful processes.”
— Tracey Bommer
“I have to say My family and I received the best service in our Time of Need. Everyone was very helpful and extremely friendly. They done a great job when they prepared my Mother for viewing. She looked just like she did before she got sick. I can't thank the Team enough for everything. Kirt was excellent,he has help me twice before my mother. I will be forever grateful for his help. I strongly recommend Mothes Funeral home.”
