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
“Both my parents died in 2022. Nancy Dusckas was the best ever to help my brother and I in every aspect of their funerals. She acted as though we were the only people who ever needed to arrange a funeral. She was professional, sincere and the best person ever. I would recommend Dusckas wholeheartedly.”
— Janet Bailey
“We had an awesome experience working with the Dusckas Funeral Home. We had never gone through a death in our immediate family before and Nancy and the other people who helped us were very kind and caring. They knew exactly what needed to be done and were very efficient. They also accommodated all of our personal requests and were so willing to help us out even when we thought we couldn't get our church at first for the funeral service. I would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone needing their services.”
— Michael Olson
“My experience with Dusckas was amazing! We were treated like we were the only family to ever suffer a loss instead of just another way to make money. They were knowledgable, personable, kind, and funny when they needed to be. I would whole heartedly recommend them to those needing a loving goodbye for their loved one.”
— Leann Bush
