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
“Bissler & Sons Funeral Home provided outstanding care and support during one of the most difficult times of my life. Although our memorial gathering was held at a different location, their staff was present and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were professional, compassionate, and incredibly kind, offering quiet guidance and support when it was needed most. Their presence brought a sense of calm and reassurance, and it was clear they truly cared—not just about doing their job well, but about supporting our family. I am deeply grateful for their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine compassion. I would highly recommend Bissler & Sons to anyone needing funeral services.”
— Rich Turner
“My overall experience of my mother's services from a guests point of view was probably good. As a customer I don't understand what went wrong I was involved in every part of my mother's services from planning to execution. I made the initial plans with her and secured the financing. Months later when my mother passed they continuously contacted my sister instead of me. I went in and directly spoke with the planner and told him I was in charge (per my mother's wishes). They took my information and used it sparingly. They gave my sister the pictorial videos, the additional paperwork & the log book I had designed with my mom at the conclusion of the celebration of life. I was in the same room. Then they sent my sister (not me) pictures of the flowers and cards from the people who sent them to the calling hours. I received nothing except an invitation for a review addressed to my sister and sent to my email account. To my mom's Legacy they did a nice job, I gave them all the moving parts to do so. To me, pathetic!!!”
