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
“I cannot thank Minshall-Shroppshire Funeral Home enough for the care, compassion, and support they provided during such a difficult time for our family. Norman, Michael, and Carmella are truly incredible people — they made us feel like family from the very beginning. Their warmth, empathy, and professionalism created a sense of comfort that we will never forget. They recently helped us with the funeral arrangements for my Pop, and the service they put together was absolutely beautiful. Every detail was handled with such thoughtfulness and respect, and it was clear how much love and care went into honoring his memory. I’m so grateful for their guidance and the kindness of their entire staff. They made a heartbreaking time a little easier, and I will always be thankful for that. Minshall-Shroppshire is truly a special place, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate, dignified care for their loved ones.”
— Jamie Hoesch
“The absolute kindest most attentive people to work with. Our family was very comforted knowing my mother in law was in such great care. Carmella was always on top of everything and made everything run smoothly, relieving any stress so we could focus on grieving. Pricing was also the best in the area. They even supported our outlandish idea of having her ashes put into a wine bottle instead of an urn and it turned out perfect. I would highly recommend them to take care of your loved ones!”
— Ashley Dreyer
“Carmella the Funeral Director at Minshall Shropshire, provided excellent service to me and my sister's during the passing of the mother. Also, the staff did an amazing job with mother and we couldn't have been more pleased. Carmella was very professional, empathetic, meticulous and very responsive whenever I reached-out to her, even on a Sunday morning. She made everything very manageable for our family, during a very difficult time. We received a package at the end of the service, including thank you cards, laminated remembrance cards, etc. All neatly wrapped in silver twine. I would highly recommend.”
