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’ve had this funeral home in my life as long as I can remember! Mr Sorge had previously done home visits in emergency situations that I remember as a kid. He was always very sympathetic and caring especially when things go horribly wrong! Over the past year I’ve dealt with the staff one on one for my fathers end of life. Very professional and caring at the same time! My grandmothers funeral was a few months back and mr Sorge whole heartedly waited at the door to greet people despite obviously being retired. Ashley and Madison also attended her funeral to make sure she was properly cared for! I’ve read some of the negative reviews, and it sounds like the people mourning we’re expecting way more from a business than they ever should!”
— Lisa Kunsman
“Sorge funeral home provided excellent service and support to my family during a very difficult time. Ashley was very professional and all of the staff ensured that my mother's services were carried out exactly as she had planned. We are very grateful to Sorge funeral home for their support and professionalism.”
— Todd Kane
“It was 20 years ago that I first met Lloyd as he arranged the funeral for family at the time. Then, seeing him handle the funeral for my father in law and mother in law then within the last 10 years, there was no doubt where I was going to have my mom's funeral services. When she passed last month, Lloyd and his family handled every matter with compassion and dignity. If you have a strong sense for people, hopefully you will sense within minutes like I did how special he truly is and feel the calling he has to serve families in their time of mourning.”
