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
“Yesterday was my mother Fay's funeral. She was almost 84. She was nearly bald and had been ravaged by acute kidney failure and dementia. When my dad died 10 years prior, she made me promise that I would make her look beautiful for my dad whenever she saw him again. I wasn't sure what Baue could do for her. My son and I made all the arrangements with funeral director Alison Brettnacher. I explained exactly what I wanted. When my mother went on hospice, I had bought a wig, press on nails, jewelry, and I had a specific color palette in mind for her makeup including bright red lipstick because that's what she always wore. Alison took notes. I wanted to see my mother looking her absolute best for my dad. Baue worked meticulously with me the day before my mother's funeral making sure my mom's hair and makeup were exact. I even drew her lip outline on paper and submitted it to them. They absolutely nailed it. The day of her funeral was flawless. My broken 84-year-old mother looked alive. She looked like she was sleeping with rosy cheeks. Absolute artistry. I was totally amazed at what they had done. They had achieved the unachievable. They made my mother look beautiful for my father. ❤️ I am extremely pleased with how everything turned out. Alison was truly amazing to work with. Just spectacular. And Baue? The absolute best in the business. Worth EVERY PENNY! They are masters of their craft.”

“We lost our teenage son and had no idea about funeral homes in the area. A neighbor recommended Baue. It was the most incredible experience. Allison guided us through the darkest days of our lives. I would give 10 stars if I could. She went above and beyond.”

“Absolutely disgusted. The flower arrangement I personally made and placed on my father's grave were STOLEN from this cemetery 😡 This is supposed to be a place of rememberance, not theft 😤 I know the flower arrangement was stolen, not blown away by a storm. Families deserve respect and better security. Whoever did this should be ashamed 😡”
