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
“During the loss of my father, Sytsema welcomed me with open arms and treated me like family with dignity and quality care. Their professional services exceeded my expectations! They were very knowledgeable of the services they offered and were able to speak well as to how they could meet our desires regarding final arrangements. The staff was really hospitable and accommodating. They even extended their services through follow up calls after all was said and done. I highly recommend to work with one of the directors, Allie. She was amazing and was the driving force behind this experience😊 #Grateful Client”
