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
“We used MKD for my nana’s services and they were truly exceptional. Lance was phenomenal from start to finish. This was my first time handling funeral arrangements, and I honestly had no idea what I was doing. Lance walked my family and me through every step with compassion and patience, and he was completely transparent with pricing. He even gave us his cell phone number and responded promptly to all of my after-hours questions, which meant more to us than he probably realizes. From the viewing and service at the funeral home to my nana’s burial, everything was handled with care and professionalism. Great location, great team, and outstanding support during such a difficult time. I highly recommend them.”
— Ashton King
“MKD funeral home was a wonderful caring experience. From my first call to every small detail the staff was wonderful. Listening to my cares and needs. Thank you MKD for being there for our family in the passing of our mom.”
— Linda wiers
“MKD was extremely helpful with planning my daughter’s Service. It was complicated. She lived on Martha’s Vineyard, where she was injured, flown to Boston where she died, cremated in Boston and her remains were flown to Grand. Rapids. Rachel helped every step of the way.”
— Patricia Helder
