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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“I cannot speak highly enough of King-Lynk Funeral Home for the extraordinary care they provided during my mother’s funeral arrangements. Though my mother was a lifelong resident of Fort Madison, my father, brother, and I chose to hold her Funeral Mass where I currently live because she was here at the time of her passing. Heather and the team at King Lynk Funeral Home were exceptional in their support and understanding of our decision. They coordinated seamlessly with the funeral home where I reside to ensure a smooth transfer, demonstrating remarkable compassion even though they did not financially benefit from this arrangement. Their selflessness touched us deeply. Later, they organized a beautiful graveside service in Fort Madison that was nothing short of perfect. The staff’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to every detail made an incredibly difficult time feel more bearable. They went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations and honoring my mother’s memory with the dignity she deserved. I wholeheartedly recommend King Lynk Funeral Home to anyone in need of funeral services. Thank you, Heather and team, for your compassion and for celebrating my mother’s life so beautifully.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of King-Lynk! Between Jason and Heather, their compassion and care given to our family during the passing of my mother were second to none! They made sure everything was handled with ease!”
— Jason Peitz
“I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Jason not only took care in performing the services we requested, but he anticipated small touches we would like that we didn’t even ask for. He saw my family and I in our rawest moments and helped ease our hearts knowing my brother was cared for. King-Lynk went above and beyond and we are forever grateful.”
