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
“The Cremation Society of Milwaukee provided outstanding service during an incredibly stressful time. Their communication was clear, timely, and reassuring from start to finish. They worked within a very tight timeline so we could take our loved one to her final resting place out of state. What we were told could take up to three weeks was completed in just 10 days. The online forms were easy to complete and very convenient, which made the process much easier for our family. Special thanks to Lisa, who helped us early on a Saturday morning, and Sara, who answered additional questions with patience and care. We are deeply grateful for their professionalism and compassion, and we highly recommend their services.”

“I used the Cremation Society of Milwaukee when assisting my brother in planning his funeral. I signed him up online, and then had a few questions over the time my brother was in hospice, everyone I spoke with was knowledgeable, kind, and answered my questions when I called. The cost of the service is flexible because you choose the options you wish. My brother was a bare bones, no fuss kind of guy and he was able to choose exactly what options he wanted for his funeral. His funeral was beautiful. I highly recommend this service, my experience was so good that I have already signed my mother up for when her time comes.”

“A few years before my father passed away we had decided to start a funeral trust for my fathers cremation per his wishes. We decided to go through the cremation society. A few months ago, my father passed and with the help of the cremation society staff the process went very smooth. The staff is very caring and kept us informed through out. Thank you to all the staff for all your help and for making this difficult times less stressful.”
