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
“For over two decades, Mohnke Janowicz Funeral Home has helped our large extended family through many losses with incredible care and compassion. When my brother passed away in January 2025, I was actually four and a half hours away and feeling quite anxious about how everything would be handled. The team went above and beyond: Mike promptly went to pick my brother up, treated him with the utmost dignity and respect, and kept me informed every step of the way. They personally called me let me know exactly when he was ready to be brought home. I couldn't have asked for a more compassionate and professional experience during such a difficult time. Five stars truly isn't enough to express my gratitude.”
— Amy Panek
“Mohnke Janowicz Funeral Home continues their passion for "recovery" from the loss of a loved one. An invitation to remember our beloved family members lost in 2024 arrived and I wasn't sure I would make the trip to Big Rapids as it felt like I was just beginning to be "normal" once again. But I did and again they gave the grieving family members inspiration, prayers and comfort. Melissa and Shari thank you. The ornament you gave us is a beautiful tribute to Gene's life. He will always be missed but you allowed us to share, pray, laugh and reminisce and move forward with peace in our hearts. The loss of a loved one is traumatic no matter how the death occurs. Both Shari and Melissa helped me to deal with very difficult decisions in a kind and gentle manner. They allowed me to do what was best for us, for this situation. No questioning, no doubting, or pushing me to do more to celebrate the life of my brother. I was comforted by them every step of the way and I appreciate every little thing they have done.”
