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
“My family has been coming here for several decades for many reasons. This is one of the most admirable businesses I've ever encountered. When you come into the premises, they treat you with respect and responsibly attend to your loved one's wishes. The coordination of the events and handling of all matters was above and beyond what I could hope. They also communicated every step of the way and kept me informed about what was going on. Highly recommended and probably the best in the business.”

“Adams-Winterfield & Sullivan provided funeral service for my father six years ago. We were very happy with their service back then. When I lost my mother recently, I went right back to them for my mom's wake and burial service. Brian, Terry and Dawn were very friendly, sympathetic and professional. They went above and beyond to show that they care through their top notch services for my mom. Brian explained to me in details of various services and helped me select services that meet our needs. They paid attention to details every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with the services and can't thank them enough for taking good care of my mom and my family.”

“My father was in hospice at Edwards hospital and the hospital told us they would hold his body for 24 hours. We needed to quickly find a funeral home and make arrangements. After 2 other funeral homes in the Downers Grove area blew us off on Sunday morning we got in touch with Adams Winterfield and Sullivan. Within 2 hours we were at the funeral home. Another hour later the arrangements were finalized. Terry's family has been running funeral homes for 4 generations. Many of the funeral homes in the area are ran by large corporations and the level of service did not appear to be the same. The funeral home itself has 2 large viewing areas that are decorated nicely and maintained very well. There are 2 large well-appointed kitchen areas. Their pricing is well below the national average. Considering the level of service and the nicely appointed funeral home we felt like we got way more than what we paid for. I highly recommend this funeral home.”
