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
“Jeff Schuetz is very kind and compassionate, not only did he take care of my uncle when he passed he just took care of my father. Very nice funeral home. Very helpful. Very affordable prices as well. He is also looking into making videotapes for people like myself who weren't sure what the next steps were after my father passed.”
— Kelly Casey
“Jeff, the funeral director, was incredibly helpful and patient. He returned calls and emails promptly and answered all of our questions about various available options. After working through the planning of services with him, we ended up deciding to use another funeral service who we thought would be a better fit simply due to the number of attendees we may have. Even after letting Jeff know we were making a change, he was very compassionate and helped us transfer everything that needed transferred without any upset.”
— Jessica Collins
“Jeffrey Schuetz and Schuetz Funeral Home were professional, caring, honest, and understanding when my wife was making arrangements for her mother’s funeral. Please consider them when making arrangements for your loved ones.”
— Stephen Lombardi
