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
“We owe so much to Dettling Funeral Home. My daughter Savannah passed away when she was only 19 months old and they treated us like the most important people in the world. They were so careful and delicate with how they handled everything and at the actual service, they did all of the work even when it came down to the design of her flowers and reception tables. They’re incredibly knowledgeable about the Catholic faith and traditions, and were able to help us make decisions with our faith at the center. I am so grateful for their guidance and their care in one of my toughest times.”
— Elizabeth Clark
“Absolutely blown away! My mother’s passing was unexpected. Nothing had been pre-planned. One call to Dettling set in motion the whirlwind to prepare a final goodbye. David, Ross and the entire team were incredible. From the first interaction to the last, they treated our family like family. They were professional of course, but more importantly they were sensitive and kind. David provided helpful information regarding next steps and what to expect. They took care of everything- including bringing the flowers and left over food from the reception to the house! Additionally, the recent remodeling looks fantastic.”
— Jennifer Porchey
“I recently used Dettling Funeral Home for my wife’s service. I worked with Kevin and was totally pleased with the entire process. They provide a personal approach since they are a private funeral home but the results are superb. All questions and details were completely handled and the funeral service turned out even better than expected with several comments from attendees. I highly recommend them.”
