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
“Leonard came by recommendation from a dear friend after they were very flexible and accommodating for his family. Like many, I had only a few days to decide preferences. Eddie, Katie, and Kristin were extremely thoughtful and took great care to arrange everything according to my exacting standards. Emma’s choice of music and help editing the obituary text was priceless. I was terrified to get my hopes up because I didn’t want to be disappointed by anything that didn’t go according to the vision I had for my mother. But the folks at Leonard made everything seamless and fulfilled the hope I had for peace and gratitude and beauty for all of the gifts my mother shared with me and with others. I am forever grateful to Leonard’s for such a joyful celebration of a beautiful life.”
— Sarah Barfels
“Emma and the team at Leonard Funeral Home were incredibly kind and thoughtful. Their care and attention to detail brought so much comfort, ensuring everything was perfect for my father's service. I’m deeply grateful for their compassion and support and highly recommend them to anyone needing such care during a difficult time.”
— Adam Tigges
“The staff were professional and down to earth. From meeting with Emma at the planning/sales process to the visitation and funerals, the processes were always smooth, flawless, dignified, and lovely. The biggest pro was being allowed to identify the deceased before burial/cremation. Other funeral homes charge $300-$500+ to view and visually identify a loved one. Leonard Funeral Home allows the dignity of one last goodbye/a visual identification. Prices are very reasonable. I never felt taken advantage of. The business is clean and well kept, and the deceased were taken care of with dignity great tact. It's a pretty low stress place.”
