Wm. H. Scott Funeral Home

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.

— Katie Lutz
“Both the funeral director Todd Lovcik and the facility at 1100 Greenleaf Ave. in Wilmette, IL were first rate. Todd had excellent suggestions throughout the process from the wording of the obituary to the setup of the visitation. His primary motivation was to be as helpful as possible to me during this difficult situation which was my first time having to coordinate a loved one's death.”
— Mike
“Sadly this year our family had to deal with not only losing my mom but also my mother-in-law in another state several weeks prior. Needless to say, things were initially very stressful for me in attempting to navigate everything for my mom. Thankfully, were very fortunate in working with Shelby W. for all my mom's arrangements. Shelby was not only professional/knowledgeable but was also very kind/empathetic/understanding. She helped make the whole process bearable and I always felt like she was taking great care with our family. She also coordinated everything with the cemetery and helped to make my mom's interment day special/perfect. She is truly a treasure at Wm. H. Scott and I am immensely grateful for her kindness and friendship. I would recommend Wm. H. Scott 100%. Thank you Shelby for everything ”
