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
“From the very first conversation, Iva and Don felt like old friends we had just met. During one of the most difficult moments our family has faced, they went far beyond anything we could have expected. There were tight timelines, unexpected obstacles, and what felt like impossible logistics, yet Iva and Don somehow made it all work with grace, patience, and compassion. They truly jumped through hoops for our family, never once making us feel like a burden. Instead, they treated our dad, Alan Miller, and our entire family with the utmost dignity and respect. Their professionalism was matched by genuine warmth and kindness. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, and their calm presence gave us peace during a time when emotions were understandably high. It was clear that honoring our dad’s life was not just their job, it was personal. We cannot recommend Iva and Don enough. They turned an overwhelming situation into one that felt supported, cared for, and handled with integrity. Our family will always be grateful for the way they honored our father and walked alongside us during this time. — The Family of Alan Miller”

“Pfeil Funeral Home was so helpful with planning our mother's funeral (Jeanette A. Albert) 🙏 Don and Iva are both so compassionate yet professional as well. Every single detail we requested during the planning process was handled properly. We can't thank them enough for their guidance and friendship during this very difficult time for our family ❤”
— Donna Kastor
“My family used Pfeil Funeral Home for my father's funeral. My Dad knew Don for a long time, as they were in a service organization together. Dad trusted him. Don and Iva are good and compassionate people. They took care of all the details and minutiae so that we could focus on grieving and spending time with friends and family at the visitation.”
