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.

“In the past year, our family has used the services of Olewiler & Heffner twice. The first service was very sad, but expected. The second, recent service, was a true tragedy. The Grim family was, and still is in shock, at the loss of our beautiful sister. As we look grasp for positives, there is one shining light. Andrew was our advisor. He comforted us, let us cry, let us laugh, let us tell stories, and let us grieve as we had to plan this moment to honor our loved one. Andrew was professional, but real. We could not believe someone so young could possibly take care of us with such compassion. Thank-you to Olewiler & Heffner for sharing Andrew’s talents with our family during this devastating time.”

“Losing a spouse is difficult no matter how much planning you’ve done. Preplanning for end of life care and services does however ease some of the immediate stress and anxiety associated with a very traumatic time. My husband was an organized man, he liked to know that there were no loose ends. Olewiler & Heffner Funeral Chapel and Crematory,Inc., in Red Lion had all of his arrangements on file and all I had to do when he passed away was to make the phone call to them, and they assisted myself and my family from then on. My main contact person was Isabella, who I cannot praise enough for the empathetic nature in which she performs every facet of her duties. Each and every member of the staff that I had contact with here treated me with kindness and compassion. Ernie Heffner should be proud to have such great employees. I never felt hurried, or pressured to purchase anything. All I ever received was respect and kindness.”

“Olewiler & Heffner in Red Lion did an incredible job helping my family arrange my Dad's services. Scott was professional, respectful, compassionate, and very helpful. He was always at the door to greet us when we stopped in. I commend his patience when we were deciding on things, he never rushed anything. Allison, what an angel she is, she listened attentively to the adventures in dads life and turned all that into a beautiful story that she read to family and friends in the chapel. The photo slide show was perfectly compiled. At the crematory, my family was treated with utmost respect and made us feel comfortable in an uncomfortable setting and honored our wishes. Other staff members including the ladies at the desk that took part in everything, thank you so much! I highly recommend Olewiler & Heffner's.”
