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
“The most generous and helpful staff. I would personally like to thank Ruben and Katherine for all of their care and support throughout our planning and service. They are very genuine. Our daughters service was beautifully decorated. I could not recommend this place enough. Thank you again.”

“Obviously, being left to decide the after-life procedures for a loved one is never an ideal situation to find yourself in, & while it will likely never be an “enjoyable” experience, its an inevitable one. That being said, when faced with those difficult decisions, i would choose Tezak’s every time. From start to finish, their warmth & professionalism assures you you’ve made the right choice. They care, & it shows. Thank you, Tezak’s for lessoning the heaviness of grief, & for the peace of mind you’ve provided for my family as well as countless others throughout the years. Your hospitality remains unmatched.”
— Lindsey Peiffer
“Ryan and his staff were a fantastic asset to my families needs when our mother had passed back on June 25th 2024. Ryan made the whole process for cremation services a very expedient and comforting experience for us overall. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Plainfield or surrounding townships for their above and beyond services. Thank you once again Ryan Bryan Wassom”
