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.

“Altmeyer Funeral Home and Crematory – A Heartfelt Thank You Losing my son has been the most painful experience of my life, and during a time when my heart was heavy and my mind overwhelmed, Altmeyer Funeral Home and Crematory provided the compassion, professionalism, and support my family desperately needed. From the moment Greitcha, walked through our doors in my home and we then walked through the doors of the funeral home, we were treated with gentleness, patience, and genuine care. Greitcha and her staff honored my son’s life with dignity and ensured that every detail of his service reflected love, respect, and beauty. Their guidance helped us navigate decisions no parent ever imagines having to make, and they did so with grace and understanding. The service prepared was meaningful, peaceful, and truly heartfelt—a beautiful tribute to my son’s memory. I am deeply grateful for Greitcha, and the staff’s kindness, their professionalism, and their ability to bring comfort during such a devastating time. Thank you, Greitcha, and Altmeyer Funeral Home and Crematory, for helping us celebrate my son’s life with the honor he deserved. Your compassion will never be forgotten.”
