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.

“Modetz Funeral Home in Lake Orion recently handled my father’s funeral arrangements. I want to say thank you to everyone for all the help I, and my family, received during this difficult time. From the initial arrangements (Thank you, Lisa, for making planning seem effortless and personal. Your attention to detail and kind words will always be remembered.) to the burial at Great Lakes National Cemetery (Thank you, Bob, for helping me along the way, keeping everyone on time, reassuring me that everything will be fine, giving me your arm to support me not only physically but emotionally and leading me to the correct seat for the service. You were amazing and I couldn’t have asked for anyone more attentive.). I would HIGHLY recommend Modetz for any and all arrangements you might need. Thank you again. You truly care for the families who come through your door. ❤️”

“On Friday, August 23rd, we held a memorial service for my wife’s mother, Mary Lou Behm. The funeral home is beautifully decorated and designed, but what truly sets it apart is the outstanding care provided by the staff. They were attentive to every detail, ensuring that Mary Lou's final moments were honored with the utmost respect and compassion. My wife was particularly impressed by her interaction with the owner, Mary Modetz. Contrary to our expectations, there was no sales pressure. Instead, Mary worked closely with our family to create a memorial package that perfectly reflected what Mary Lou would have wanted. Ms Modetz thoughtfulness was especially evident when she suggested a more affordable cremation presentation faux cover, knowing that Mary Lou’s ashes were to be spread at her favorite spot after the service instead of being displayed in our home. The staff’s support went above and beyond, whether it was helping carry items from the car, providing photo presentation boards, setting out flowers, answering our many questions, or assisting with packing up after the memorial. We were also deeply impressed by the video picture presentation they created from the photos and music we provided; it was a beautiful tribute. The office staff quickly made copies of the video picture presentation. I was ready to run out and purchase electronic memory cards but the office staff said they had it covered and provided USB thumb drives for the presentation copies we requested, this way I wouldn't need to leave the memorial and could spend more time with friends and family remembering Mary Lou. In all honesty, this is the most thoughtfully run funeral home I have ever visited. Our family will wholeheartedly recommend Modetz Funeral Home to anyone in need of a place that truly cares for your loved one’s memory. Mary Modetz and staff, thank you for everything. It was so very appreciated. You made this day perfect for remembering, honoring and sharing laughable memories of Mary Lou Behm. EACH OF YOU made the day perfect.”
