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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 highly recommend Daleiden Mortuary, and not just because they have been life-long friends of our family! Sadly, we lost our Dad in November and DM 's staff has been so kind and accommodating, not only during the pre-planning, but also post death. They continue to follow up with our family to check in how we're doing. Thank you for taking such good care of our Dad...& us!”
— Stacey Miller
“Taylor and Stacie were so caring and supportive during such a difficult time. They walked me through everything with patience and kindness, which made the process feel less overwhelming. The service was beautiful and truly honored my husband's memory. Even a month later, they continue to check in on me and my family, which means so much.”
— M Hill
“They were so helpful at the time of my loss. I could not imagine being under any more stress than the loss of my wife and they were in contact with me constantly. I just want to say that any situation that arose that the staff solved it very efficiently and I do want to say Thank You. I have a long way to go before I can say I'm healed. I miss her so much that I can't put it into words. Bless You!”
— John
