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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Meadows Funeral Home was recommended to me by a family friend after an unexpected death in the family. The family is currently on the West Coast and the memorial would be in the Chicago suburbs. Melissa Nelson was patient and compassionate as I called for information regarding a death half way across the country. She provided details on what Meadows could provide and also offered alternative solutions for us which wouldn’t even result in revenue for her. To me, this is a sign of a true professional looking out for the best interests of the client. She also made any expenses that might be incurred very clear as she understands that many times families aren’t prepared for the expense. Ultimately, due to size constraints, we were unable to use Meadows, but I absolutely recommend Meadows Funeral Home and Melissa.”
— Jill Johnson
“Everyone here is wonderful. Bill sat with my family and I twice and went over our options. He was not pushy with services offered, didn’t impose any sense of urgency for decision making, and fielded all of our questions patiently. Melissa, was very steadfast and polite with emails. The rest of the staff were just an ear shot away if needed anything and made sure the immediate had plenty of time to grieve. We had a couple of unique requests and they accommodated us without hesitation. Big thank you to MFH.”
— Timothy C. Spath
“Needed to set up a plan for my mom who knew what her wishes were for some time, so all I had to do was find someone in the area to take care of the arrangements for us at a reasonable price. They are completely reasonable and take care of all the things that we needed. Melissa was so kind and made me feel some peace knowing that I was going to be able to get through this.”
