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 cant say enough how pleasant and helpful the team at Gary Deiters Funeral home were while arranging services for my Grandmother. Gary was able to help with so many things that we had not even thought of during our stressful time of mourning. During the services Gary was able to assist with keeping the atmosphere positive and reflecting on the happy memories with our Grandmother. It was how my grandmother would have wanted it. I highly recommend their services.”

Gary was amazing on driving/guiding us; everything is so emotional and stressful at times like this. Kelli so creative and patient as we move forward with the paper details. Well done.”
