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 to the staff of Sisk-Butler Funeral Home for their kindness following the passing of my husband. We had prepaid for their services so our decisions were already made but they took care to walk us through the process of the days ahead. I am so grateful to them!”
— Paneen Froneberger
“They got him in the hole! Just kidding. Super nice people. They seemed to actually care about our family instead of making things a business transaction. We had prepaid for services last year so that helped to make things less awful. I had to sign a few documents and we were done knowing everything was just the way my Dad wanted it to be. Richard and Angie listened to my concerns about trimming my Dad’s hair and beard to the way he always styled it himself instead of how he looked leaving the hospital. They even cleaned up a few nose hairs (no kidding). He looked just like himself - except he was dead, but not much they could do about that part. They took care of my Mom in 2015 and did just as good a job back then. Highly recommend these folks.”
— Kimberly Pfaff
“Richard treated our family with much respect and sympathy during the passing of my father, He explained everything to us in detail and was very patient with us while we made our decisions. I will always be grateful for Richard and the team at Sisk-Butler funeral home.”
— Faith Routhier
