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
“Losing my mother was one of the hardest experiences our family has ever faced, but the compassionate team at our small-town Clawson Gramer Funeral home made an incredibly difficult time feel a little more bearable. From the very first phone call, Paul and the staff treated us with genuine kindness, patience, and understanding. Every detail of my mother’s funeral service was handled with care and respect. They listened closely to our wishes and helped us create a service that truly reflected her life and the love she shared with everyone around her. The atmosphere they created was warm, comforting, and personal — exactly what our family needed. What stood out most was their heartfelt compassion. They never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. Instead, they guided us gently through each step, offering reassurance and thoughtful support. In a small town, you hope for people who truly care, and they exceeded every expectation. We are deeply grateful for the dignity and tenderness they showed our mother and our family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gramer funeral home to anyone seeking a caring, professional, and comforting place to honor their loved one. The Pyne Family”

“Everyone at Gramer Funeral Home were so very compassionate and helpful. Paul Gramer is an amazing person, he doesn't try and talk you into getting anything "extra" out of your budget, if anything he helps with ideas that are very tasteful, helping you to stay within your budget. All of the ladies that help during your time there are exceptional and very professional. Their compassion the entire time was very comforting and welcoming. I will recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone that has to go through the process of arranging a funeral for their loved one.”

“Gramer Funeral Home was my mother’s choice for her funeral arrangements so I met with Paul Gramer after mom had passed at the beautiful, historic building in Clawson. Paul was compassionate, professional, kind, helpful and made the difficult decisions easy and in our best interest. Our experience with Gramer Funeral Home was such a comfort during such a difficult time. Perfection is the word that comes to mind, from the first phone call to the burial, their timing, communication, true professionalism and compassion, our family will be forever grateful.
