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’ve grown weary of the funeral industry over the last few years. When I checked the prices for a simple cremation I was astounded. That’s when I realized the two funeral homes my family always worked with were no longer locally owned. They had both been purchased by the same conglomerate. That’s when I searched for a locally owned funeral service and stumbled across Church Funeral Services. When I mentioned them to the hospice nurses they immediately confirmed that I would be in good hands. The same thing happened when I told our minister who I would be using. Every person who has experience with Church had nothing but glowing things to say. And now I’m adding y story to that. I needed a simple cremation done and they handled everything efficiently and respectfully. They never once tried to sell me services I didn’t need. They simply provided me what I asked for and thanked me for my business. I highly recommend reaching out to them”
— Layne Zuelke
“Worst funeral home that I’ve EVER dealt with! They do not listen to us and treat us as if they’re agitated by you as the family. They do not treat our loved ones with care either, I will never recommend them to anyone and you shouldn’t either. I wouldn’t even send a dog here…unbelievable and rest assured it won’t happen again.”
— Melanie Michelle
“The staff at Church Funeral Services were very kind, helpful and compassionate to me when my mother passed away. I couldn’t have asked for the process to be any easier and stress free”
— Marion Kaiser
