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.

“My experience with Iles Funeral Home Sundberg Kirkpatrick was excellent. People were very understanding, caring, comforting and extremely helpful. I didn't feel any pressure to do or buy anything that I hadn't planned. They were very respectful and seemed to understand exactly what we wanted and how we wanted to do things. Anything that could possibly be a problem went very smoothly thanks to the staff that we worked with. I really have no issues with anything or how our experience went. Thank you!”

“The Iles Funeral Home in Madrid, Iowa were so caring and compassionate to our family when our mother passed away. They were gentle with our father, who had lost the love of his life, and they met our family’s every need. Then when our father passed away five and a half months later, they were so gracious and prompt with their service. They were the best choice for our family and we could not have received better care.”
