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
“Thank you so much for helping make my mother’s celebration of life so special. The caterer’s food was a wonderful fit for the venue and was enjoyed by everyone. The florist you recommended created such a beautiful arrangement around my mother’s urn—it was truly perfect. Guests stayed until the very end and shared how meaningful and lovely they found the send-off for my mom. Chris was such a support as well, ensuring the video was managed thoughtfully during my eulogy and resuming it right after. I’m deeply grateful for all you did leading up to the day. You made the planning so much easier for me, since I was doing it long distance. The result was a beautiful afternoon of remembrance with friends and family—exactly what my mom would have wanted.”

“Schoedingers NW has helped me expertly through the deaths and memorial services, and burials of each of my parents. My parents made their arrangements 25 years ago with Schoedingers, and their wishes were totally different. Even when it seems that all the decisions were made in advance, there are still important decisions to be made when one is required to think short and long term, on behalf of one’s loved one, friends and family, and personally—all at the same time. Their open-minded attitudes, phenomenal listening skills, combined with decades of experience has never steered me wrong. My husband and I will be using them for our final arrangements, for sure.”
— Jayn Roush
“We lost our most dear friend Dec 23rd,2024. Schoedinger Northwest was Most responsive, professional and kind during this time. They went above and beyond during a tricky time of year as well as coordinating out of state family members and making sure cultural customs were honored. We would entrust them again with our family members.”
