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
“NEVER in a million years did I think our appointment with Steve at Jakubs & Son would have went the way it did. Let me back up. My sister and I just buried our dad on October 30, 2020 and we were DREADING this appointment. This was the first time we ever had to plan a funeral and being as we just lost our dad, we were very emotional. Our meeting with STEVE was amazing! My sister and I literally laughed the 2 1/2 hours we were there with him for our appointment. (We were just being us and of course it was also everything unorthodox we were planning... Pink Floyd theme...) We wanted to make dad's funeral a celebration of who he was and they truly helped us capture that. Steve even helped up hire a horse and carriage to take dad from the funeral home to the church the next morning. It's exactly what we needed and Steve made everything so easy for us. He was simply awesome and Dad looked unbelievable, as if he were sleeping. I would highly recommend Jakubs & Son for your loved one.”

“This funeral home is highly recommended. My father passed away last month and my sister and I were dreading having to plan it. Steve the director was more than awesome. From the time I first made the first call I felt very comfortable knowing my dad was going to a caring place. It literally looked like my dad was just taking a nap and he looked just like himself (not makeup all caked on). Every thing we asked for Steve made happen. We asked for a horse and carriage and when we pulled into the funeral home , a horse and carriage was there to escort our father.”
— Danielle Young
“We received outstanding service and what we felt was an honest assessment of our needs and fair pricing from Jakubs. We had first contacted another east side funeral home and their estimate of costs was more than double that from Jakubs, partly because they recommended products and services that we specifically said we did not want. Jakubs listened and made the whole experience easier for us at a tough time. I heartily recommend them.”
