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.

“I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for Terry, who provided exceptional support during the difficult time of my mother's funeral. Terry's professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail truly made a difference. From the very beginning, Terry was attentive and understanding, ensuring that every aspect of the arrangements was handled with care and respect. Terry guided us through the entire process with patience and empathy, making sure that our wishes were honored and that everything went smoothly. The compassion Terry showed to our family was deeply comforting, and the thoughtful coordination helped ease our burden during such an emotional time. Thanks to Terry's dedication and expertise, the simple service was beautiful and dignified, perfectly reflecting the memory of my mother. I am incredibly grateful for Terry's support, and I highly recommend Terry to anyone in need of such services. Thank you, Terry, for your kindness and outstanding care. Bautista family!”

“In 2021, during the difficult restrictions, Wichmann Funeral Home handled my father's arrangements with incredible care. Despite the barriers to in-person meetings, everything went flawlessly. In March 2025, they also helped us with my mother's funeral. Our funeral director, Terry, was especially wonderful – patient, kind, and understanding. He was always available to answer questions and a great communicator, keeping us updated throughout the process. The entire team at Wichmann was accommodating, compassionate, and respectful, making a very tough time a little easier. Multiple people called me to help resolve an issue finding some information, and they double-checked to ensure everything was accurate. Their wonderful care for my mom during the preparation for her last showing for our family was also greatly appreciated. They went above and beyond to fulfill every request I had, especially regarding my mom's lipstick and general care, ensuring everything happened for the family. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident in both services. We're so grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone in need.”
