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
“I recently attended a Lunch & Learn at Schumacher-Kish Funeral and Cremation Services and had a great experience. Jake did an excellent job presenting and was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. The presentation was clear, informative, and engaging. I also had the chance to meet Scott and several other staff members, and everyone was welcoming, professional, and very knowledgeable. It was clear that they take pride in what they do and genuinely care about the people they serve. The facilities are clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which added to the overall positive experience. Schumacher-Kish comes across as a well-run funeral home with a great team, and I would absolutely recommend them.”

I felt not only in expert hands in all the practical matters but also genuinely cared about. Thank you Schumacher-Kish!”
