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.

“Goodness, five stars doesn’t even equate for the professionalism, courtesy, compassionate, treatment Meyers gave to my family for my dad. They never stopped, just continuously accommodating for us while keeping us ‘in bounds with our budget. They understood our budget and were very respectful,honest and polite to us. Treated us with absolute class and courtesy! Todd, Justin, and John guided, nurtured and protected our family from our very first contact to our last. They comforted our raw emotions state with Grace, Integrity, Respecting our religion and traditional values. Todd gave me a genuine connection, (as well the entire staff) but it was uninterrupted, the only thing that mattered and available 24 hours a day. (even when he wasn’t necessarily available, your ok’ to call) Always responding in a timely manner, with clear conceptual comprehension and understanding for your arrangements. We never felt rushed or like we were “just business” or unimportant. I mean these folks really knocked it out of the park. I never wanted this day to come, but I wouldn’t have changed the way it happened once it arrived. If you could put “Mom and pop” love and affection on a funeral home - it’s undisputedly Myers funeral chapel! They give you ‘In for a penny; In for a pound’ treatment with full regards to your budget, is what I experienced. So thankful we chose Meyer cause they soothed our very real chaos in the most memorable manner possible, Thank you! Thanks Travis Gentry.”

“What an incredible place. When my wife passed, I didn’t know what to do or where to turn but the staff at Meyer’s truly made everything as easy as it could possibly be. The organization of the process was truly comforting. When I walked in I was completely lost and when I walked out we had her service completely planned. Their compassion through the process made them seem more like friends of the family rather than a business. They told me that the day of the service that all I would have to do is show up and they would handle everything and they were right about that. They truly took care of every detail. Even after her service they have continued to be instrumental in navigating this difficult time. They have even reached out with support services to help. I could go on for pages on everything they have done for me and my family and all that they continue to do, but lastly I will say, they truly care and it shows in every step of the way.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Myer’s Funeral Chapel Northland. From beginning to end was a top notch experience. They were available and accommodating even in the late hours when we were unsure of how to handle my mother’s passing. They were prompt and considerate of the emotional distress we were experiencing. From our first meeting their process was seamless. A true one stop shop of preparing my mother’s body with respect, picking the casket and extras without trying to oversell us just to make a quick buck, prayer cards, programs, flowers, transportation with funeral escorts, absolutely everything so we had nothing to worry about. They even handled the financial aspect of contacting our insurance so we could concentrate on being with our family. They were well organized and the online streaming of my mother’s mass and picture slide show was truly classy. From now until forever we put our trust in Myer’s Northland. Thank you Todd for sending my mother off the way she deserved 🙏🏽”
