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.

“We are so thankful for Klontz Funeral Home and Cremation Services! They were such a blessing to us in such a difficult time. This was our third time needing their services so we knew we were in good hands! This time we were 3000 miles away and having to coordinate long distance was made so easy by them. Can't say enough about the staff especially Diane, so compassionate and caring. They care for you after everything is completed as well, making sure you're ok not only emotionally but making sure you have all the information you need to take care of all the needed requirements after your loved one passes! We are so incredibly appreciative of everything. Jerry and Kerry Lamb”

“They were very carrying and obviously knew how to work with a grieving family. Professional in entry way, I felt they provided support and comfort in a very loving way. Their follow- up was wonderful and a much needed help. If you are looking for the best care for you and your departed loved one, this is the family you want to trust.”

“Klontz was professional and caring. Nobody wants end of life services for a mom who said goodbye too early but Klontz was there in loving and supportive ways. We were given all kinds of grace when finalizing all materials. They were helpful with gentle reminders about due dates. They were thorough with the care of my mom. If you need end of life services in this area Klontz is an excellent team to work with.”
