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.

“I want to give the biggest thank you to Skyler and Casey at Ryans Funeral Home in Deforest, WI. Both of them are absolutely amazing and wonderful human beings and I can't thank them enough for their help and understanding and overall assistants. I recently lost my mother in February of 2024 and life has been extra difficult emotionally, mental and defiantly financially and if it was not for these two amazing and wonderful people I would not have been able to afford my mother's cremation cost but with their understanding and assistants they have allowed me the opportunity to afford the cost and they have worked with me and my family to make it so that we are able to afford the cost and bring my mother's ashes home. I and my family are so thankful for their assistants in this difficult time. I can't express my gradated to them I don't have the words I was so stressed and was hoping for something amazing and they contacted me with just absolutely amazing news and took some of my stress away I will forever be grateful to them for their kind and amazing efforts. I will be recommending them and there deforest facility to everyone I know. thank you, Skyler and Casey, I appreciate ever thing you have done and you're understanding you both are absolutely amazing people.”

“When my father passed away recently, we realized that he had not left detailed instructions or wishes for his funeral. We met with Skyler and she guided us through the process with kindness, compassion and infinite patience. So many of our questions were met with, "Don't worry, we take care of that." What a huge relief to have someone to help us navigate such a sad and uncertain time. At the service, Skyler and Kristin were a blur of activity, seamlessly and almost invisibly taking care of every detail. We are so grateful to both of them for the care and compassion that they showed us. I cannot recommend their services strongly enough.”

“Ross was so kind to our family and incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process. He took care of everything and was available to my brothers and I 24/7. Ours was a unique situation and feel that Ross went above and beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend Ryan Funeral Home to anyone on the fence. We used the DeForest location. It was a perfect celebration of life for our mother thanks to all of the hard work from the entire team. Thank you again and be blessed”
