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
“Trying to satisfy family of all women is not not an easy task in itself. Peggy made it all almost a breeze. She put up a beautiful setup for all the girls to say good bye to mom when they came in from Michigan. Then, when everything came in, that we ordered, Peggy had it so beautifully set up in the chapel, I cried. Mom would've been so happy. I know us girls were so very blessed.”

“My husband passed away on June 11, 2019. This was the worst day of my life. I contacted Melcher Mortuary to get some information on his final arrangements. Liz the lady who answered my call was very professional and referred me to Peggy. We talked for a while and Peggy gave me all the information I requested. After a day or so when I made my decision whom I wanted to entrust my husband to, I called Melcher Mortuary to handle his final arrangements. I have only good things to say. Peggy went through everything and showed genuine compassion. She made this experience a very positive one. Peggy handled everything in a very professional and timely manner. I would definitely recommend Melcher Mortuary Mission Chapel and Crematory.”
