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
“I don’t even know where to begin… this wonderful place was so helpful from start to finish during one of the most difficult times of our lives. I lost my mother in law two weeks ago suddenly, we called every funeral home in a 20 mile radius and they were the only funeral home to offer us help. They financially, emotionally and physically helped me every step of the way. Calvin Amato was our director and him and his entire crew were so incredibly helpful for us. They cremated my mother in law, and offered us the chapel to rent to hold her services, helped us set up, pick up host her services, recommended a pastor for us TOTALLY last minute, created our slideshow of pictures to play, held our hand with paperwork, and helped us with the death certificates as well. Most importantly they worked with us financially when it was a real blessing for us as it was so sudden and unexpected for us. Thank you to Calvin and the entire crew and Jacob schoen and son funeral home for everything yall did for us. I’m surely leaving things out that they helped me with but I can never thank them enough for being there for us in such a time of need. Thank yall so much!”

“In a moment in my life where I felt lost and alone trying to plan for my mother’s funeral arrangements the staff at Jacob Schoen from the initial phone call to the handling of her cremation arrangements has been nothing short of amazing and really moving. I want to give a sincere and heartfelt thank you especially to Calvin, he has been so attentive and compassionate from the very start and it feels a lot in some ways like he’s an extension of family. I would strongly recommend Jacob Schoen to anyone in the future.”
