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.

“Muehlig Funeral Chapel provided professional, genuine, and compassionate care during a very difficult time for our family. They were extremely respectful and accommodating of Asian culture and customs, which meant a great deal to us. Special thanks to Valerie, our funeral director. She worked closely with us to stay within our budget and truly did everything possible to help. The embalming was outstanding—my father looked peaceful, like he was simply asleep. It was one of the best embalming jobs I have ever seen. I highly recommend Valerie and Muehlig Funeral Chapel for their professionalism, care, and attention to detail.”

“Earlier this year my 91 year old father went to sleep for the last time. He graduated from the University of Michigan medical school & he went on to become an outstanding orthopedic surgeon & professor at the U of M medical school. He devoted himself to improving patients surgical outcomes & enriching his medical students abilities, understanding, & knowledge; so, it was somehow fitting that he died while receiving care at the same medical center he devoted his life to. Before he died, he left instructions that he made arrangements for his funeral & burial at Muehlig funeral chapel. As usual, he made an excellent choice. The kindness, sensitivity, & compassionate attention to detail from all of the staff at Muehlig was beyond my expectations. In a few short meetings with Carly Simpson, the Funeral Director, we developed a plan for his funeral service at Muehlig, & his burial service, which was held at Forest Hills Cemetery. Carly skillfully honored his life by officiating the burial service at the cemetery with grace & tender loving kindness. I have often heard that, “it’s not what you do that matters; but, it’s how you do it”. In my opinion, Carly Simpson & the team members at Muehlig funeral chapel are far beyond experts in the way they help families & loved ones manage the funeral & burial of their dearly departed. I can wholeheartedly recommend using Muehlig funeral chapel should the need arise. Aaron Kaufer”

“With only having 9 days to process hearing, my dad is sick in the ICU to when I removed him off life support at the young age of 63, I could not have made it through the planning without Scott's help. I made my call to Muehlig Funeral Home, so lost and broken as I said goodbye to my dad, Scott was absolutely the blessing I needed at that moment to guide me through. We laughed together as he listened to my stories and had a few jokes, too. I will never forget the kindness he showed me during my darkest days. We even found a beautiful urn to place my mother's ashes in that matches my dads, they can now rest side by side.”
