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
“Our son died unexpectedly, so we reached out to Cress. We met with Jessica, who went above and beyond to make sure our son's final wishes were granted. He was cared for by staff for two weeks before burial and our family was able to visit with him before saying our final goodbyes. Everyone was so empathetic, kind, and caring. Many hugs were shared.”

“Disappointed in my mom's service and everything leading up to it. The person coordinating was not her next of kin and being nearly 5 hours away I asked Harrison to please call me before finalizing decisions. No such call was ever made to me. Her obituary was a joke and they allowed her driver's license picture to be used as her memorial picture. Seriously?? You could see the "Wisconsin" watermark on everything. She deserved so much more.”
— Angela Stafford
“⋅West Prospect Street, Stoughton, Wi From the moment our dad was picked up from his apartment to our meeting the following day with Dan and our entire experience with Cress we are so truly deeply grateful for the care and compassionate treatment we received. Dad was our rock. The visitation while hard was what we needed, the graveside service, everything Dan, Matthew and the Cress staff did was nothing short of WONDERFUL! We could not have been in better hands. You all jumped to help us when we needed it. Thank you so much!!!”
