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
“The staff at Martenson is tremendous. They guide you through the process with all the compassion and comfort needed during a very difficult time. The Allen Park Chapel is beautiful and welcoming, and they did an amazing job in putting together the memorial video. We are grateful to Robin and the team for providing a wonderful celebration of life for our mother.”
— Steve Boileau
“Martenson Funeral Home took my mother into their care after she passed. As soon as she was released, they ensured she was treated with dignity and compassion every step of the way. My mom had fought a long and difficult battle, and by the time she passed, she no longer looked like the woman I remembered. When I saw her at her viewing, I cried—not from grief alone, but because she looked restored. She looked like my mom again. For the first time since she became ill, I felt a sense of peace. My mother hadn’t set anything aside for her final arrangements, and I was worried about how I would honor her properly. The Martenson team guided me with patience and understanding, giving me dignified and affordable options that never once felt out of reach. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing me to see and remember my mom the way I needed to—beautiful, whole, and at peace.”

“I'll start by saying that this was me and my sisters first experience with having to pick a funeral home and they were so accommodating to our needs. Walked us through everything since we were new to this and really broke down everything from cost to fit our budget to what it entails as they grab him and get him ready. They treated him with dignity like it was their own family member. As for prices I would say they were reasonable and even helped with picking a cemetery and vault for him. Overall this was a great and dedicated funeral home that cares for the most difficult time. Highly recommend.”
