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 brother passed away in late October. Prior to his death he purchased a contract with Sytsema Funeral Home. I contacted Sytsema Funeral Home and spoke with Jen (very helpful) and was directed to Dean Meyering who assisted me with making arrangements. Dean was efficient, professional and extremely compassionate. He treated my siblings and myself, as if we were the only people he had to work with. The entire staff at Sytsema Funeral Home was so helpful and always just a call away. They are truly one in a million at a time, when it really matters. Our family appreciated the time given and every effort made by Dean and the staff to make sure all details were addressed. Thank you”
— Linda Jarosch
“The handling of the arrangements and the service were very nicely done but they really fell well short on the announcements. You pay them extra to do this and we found out after the fact that the announcement in the GH Tribune could only be viewed if you subscribe. And I believe that they did not place the details of our service on their website until just the night before. Made it hard for anyone to find out the details in time.”
— David
“After my mother passed away in December, the funeral home and burial arrangements were all done very well. The funeral home staff was excellent, which was greatly appreciated.”
— Tim Teunis
