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
“Wheelan-Pressly Funeral Home and Crematory made our two weeks so much easier for us between our son's death and his funeral. We will recommend them to absolutely everyone. The amount of time, care, and kindness they gave us was incredible. They took care of so much so we didn’t have to stress or worry about certain things. They set up all of his memorabilia perfectly for the visitation. Our concerns were heard, and they helped find solutions for everything. The staff was beyond incredible and helped in so many ways. Our family car driver even helped buckle our kids in and carry the diaper bag. I could truly go on and on about this place. No one ever wants to have to bury someone, but if you do have to go through it, these are the people you want by your side. Because of them, both days were truly special and beautiful.”
— Allissa Springsteen
“Wheelan-Pressly is Top Notch! Andy was patient with changing situations and was extremely helpful, courteous and accommodating. Andy and the team were so compassionate and caring. They were with us every step of the way. They coordinated everything and when we needed to make changes, they were calm and respectful and worked with us. The facilities there are also clean and beautiful. They were a soft place to fall during a painful time. My family and I would recommend them to anyone.”
— Lynn
“I just can't say enough about Wheelan-Pressly Funeral Home! My family has been going here for year's and will continue using them. They make everything so easy for our family. They don't rush the family to make a hasty decision. They go above and beyond. Even though they are a business they care more about the families. What has really impressed me is that i was able to purchase the urn for my pet. They treated me as i would have been making arrangements for a family member. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!”
