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
“We only ended up at McGilley and Sheil because the other funeral home couldn't accommodate us and wasn't willing to do anything to help us out. So, we came here and Nichole was instantly ready to help us in any way that she could. Very understanding and accommodating throughout the process. When you lose a family member, you greatly appreciate the funeral home simplifying the process and taking that worry off of your hands. Nichole did exactly that and we had a beautiful service. Close to 120 people came for the service and M&S handled it very well. Highly recommended.”
— David G. Alumbaugh
“The general manager/funeral director that assisted my family was the kindest, most professional and understanding person I could have hoped to have assist us. He was patient and helpful during our time of need. We were unclear about all the things we needed to do and he provided compassionate guidance in such a way as to make us all feel so much more at peace. He was very knowledgeable about the services and products available to us. He followed up with us several times to be certain we were receiving all the services we needed or expected and was always very willing to provide us any additional assistance we might need. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with McGilley & Sheil Funeral Home & Cremation Services and have already recommended them to friends.”
