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.

“Our Director, Lisa Nikkel and the team (Frank, Alex, Del, Ed) had made the unbearable, bearable. It was like having close friends take care of everything you didn't want to think about. They made our father's final goodbye something special. They were all very professional, patient, sensitive to our grief and great attention was given to understand who Dad was and how special he was to us. We are forever grateful to Lisa and all that took care of us during this time.”

“Ordered a beautiful Peace Lilly for a viewing which was delivered at 1pm from Sam’s Florist next door. Viewing started at 3pm and we arrived at 6pm. Our plant was not in the room and when I raised it to an attendant they said they could not find it. At 8:30pm it arrived in the room after it had been placed in another viewing for most of the day. I called and spoke to Dell who told me human error happens. I will never again send an arrangement here for a viewing.”

“I had the privilege of working with Lisa at Wujek Calcaterra & Sons Funeral Home in Shelby Township during one of the most challenging times of my life—the passing of my father, Zef. Lisa was nothing short of phenomenal. From the beginning to the end, her compassion and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. She took care of the smallest details, which made a significant difference during this emotional time. What truly stood out was Lisa's incredible dedication—she attended both the church service and the burial, ensuring that each part of the ceremony was perfectly executed. Her presence at these events was not only reassuring but also a testament to how much she cared about making everything just right for our family. Lisa's professionalism and warmth made the process much smoother and less daunting. She understood the importance of honoring my father's memory and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her efforts helped me focus on celebrating my father's life rather than worrying about the logistics. A special thanks also goes to Ron, who prepared my dad for viewing. Thanks to his skill and care, my dad looked peaceful and dignified, just as he deserved. I am confident that my father would have been proud of how everything turned out. Lisa is an incredibly sweet and caring individual, and the funeral home is very lucky to have her on their staff. If you are planning a funeral, I highly recommend asking for Lisa. You will be in the most capable and caring hands, and they will make sure your loved one's final departure is handled with the utmost respect and memorable detail. Thank you, Lisa, Ron, and the entire staff at Wujek Calcaterra & Sons, for making this difficult time a little easier.”
