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 had the most terrible experience trying to pre plan a funeral. The pre-planner, robert, was awful to work with. This was a pre-planning so it was not urgent and he became frustrated that I was not communicating is quickly as he felt I should and then blamed me when I didn't remember the directions he had given me. He refused to email communication with me and only would talk to me by phone. In our last conversation, he literally told me it would be best if I found a different funeral home. I'm sorry, I don't do this every day and it's your job to walk me through this. The customer service was absolutely abysmal. Do not use this funeral home!”
— Susan McNeil
“I can’t say enough positive things about how Samantha treated me and my family during such a tough time. She treated us like true family. This woman should run the entire business. She’s remarkable. To top it off, the facility was very clean and arranged well. Highly recommend”
— Jason Kuechenmeister
“Samantha was incredibly kind and helpful, and she went out of her way to assist with us some difficult issues. We are grateful that we called Schramka.”
— Scott Happ
