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
“From the moment we met with Jeff at Volkze Funeral Home, we knew we were in good hands. He handled every aspect with efficiency, respect, and genuine care. My dad was a pastor in the area and had worked with many funeral homes. Volzke Funeral Home was his choice and we soon saw why he recommended them. Jeff was upfront about all costs, never pressured us, and offered helpful suggestions when asked. We felt completely supported and trusted his experience to manage every detail flawlessly. It's clear that Jeff and his crew are genuinely compassionate people who understand the importance of honoring loved ones with dignity. Their professionalism and caring approach allowed our family to focus on grieving and remembering that we’ll be united with our loved one again because we are saved by faith in Jesus. We wholeheartedly recommend Volzke Funeral Home. Thank you, Jeff!”

“This past September when our husband and father died unexpectedly, we were faced with many questions and unknowns that along with shock and grief, left our family reeling. We were so thankful that we had made funeral plans with Volzke Mortuary several years ago because with one phone call from the hospital, Jeff took over. All questions about funeral arrangements were answered and the necessary contacts made. We knew from the first family meeting with Jeff that we were in good hands. All things pertaining to the funeral were handled not only efficiently but with respect, dignity and caring concern. Our heartfelt thanks to Jeff, Kirsten & Jaden.”
— Pearl Plamann
