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
“We are incredibly grateful for the care and compassion we received from Charles S. Zeiler & Son Inc. during the most difficult time of our lives. Being from California, we were devastated when our daughter, Aubrey, passed suddenly in Baltimore, and we had no idea how to navigate everything from so far away. From the moment we connected with them, our funeral director, Rhonda, took exceptional care of us. She handled everything with such professionalism, kindness, and efficiency, ensuring that all arrangements were made quickly and smoothly. Thanks to her and the entire team, we were able to have our daughter cremated and everything finalized in just a few days, allowing us to bring her ashes home without delay. What meant the most to us was the opportunity to see and visit with our daughter before the cremation with no time limit—something we will forever be grateful for. In a time of unimaginable pain, Rhonda and the team at Charles S. Zeiler & Son provided not only excellent service but also true compassion and support. We highly recommend them to anyone needing funeral services handled with dignity, respect, and care. Thank you, Rhonda, and everyone at Zeiler & Son, for helping us through this heartbreaking time.”

“As I write this review for the Charles Zeiler funeral home, I explain it with my true feelings from my heart on behalf of my family. My Nana is currently laid out in the home and we could not be happier with where she is laid-out, especially with the Zeiler family taking such good care of her in preparation of the viewings and funeral proceedings. For many, many years our family has always trusted the Zeiler family to provide extremely tasteful and truly caring service through difficult times. Our family trusts them implicitly as we have also had family members and friends who have also been there as well in the past. They are a class-act and know how to make the process of giving a loved-one a very special ceremony with beautiful rooms along with a very courteous and knowledgeable staff. So, we could not be more satisfied to write this review in hopes of others taking the time to read so they too can have the confidence and comfort in choosing the right funeral home to have their family or friends cared for during a time of celebration of ones’ life. It makes all the difference in the world to have the BEST and most professional staff that make it special and memorable. We thank the Zeiler family for making a challenging time a special occasion to celebrate her life! Very highly recommended and respected. Sincerely, The Scandora family.”
