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
“MKD did a phenomenal job. John took time with our family and guided us effortlessly through the process. Those working behind the scenes did an amazing job with preparation and presentation. At a time when thinking is blurred by tears, MKD staff performed their art flawlessly. I can’t remember everyone’s name, but know I owe all of you a debt of gratitude.”
— Mary Wierenga
“Our experience with John Kuiper from MKD funeral home was great. Made us all feel at home during planning of my husband’s funeral. Everything was handled with ease. He led us through everything step by step. In the end everything worked out perfectly . But I would suggest to stop in get a planner you can fill out ahead of time from them. At least to see what all needs to be done. Everything is listed for before and after.”
— Dodie Holst
“John spent as much time with us as we needed when planning his funeral. He was helpful with suggestions when we needed them and I never felt like he was trying to sell me something. My dad was treated with respect and even though we chose a closed casket, we were able to say a final good-bye. I was pleased that they took great care with my dad and he looked as good as if we had chosen an open casket. MKD is a business that's built on good relationships and I would choose them again.”
