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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Our family recently worked with Brittany and Ben. The service they provided was extremely professional. They were kind, caring and helped to take the stress out of a very hard situation. We would highly recommend Mankato Mortuary.”
— Tari Colby
“I highly recommend this place to anyone needing these services. Top notch professionalism all the way. This was the first time I've ever had to do this. From the moment I walked in, I was put at ease & began putting together a plan. I was kept up to date as to what I needed to do & when with plenty of options tailored to my preferences. The set-up for the funeral was beautiful & helped me up to the moment it was done. They made a very difficult situation much easier to navigate.”
— Band Galaxy
“Disappointed in the service provided by Mankato Mortuary. We have many out of town family and relatives that could not attend my father’s celebration of life service. We requested that the service be video taped so that others could view it after the service. The first tape we received was of very poor quality and worst of all the audio didn’t record loud enough to hear anything. When we pointed this out we were told there was nothing that could be done. However, after leaving a poor review on google the tape was somehow improved so that we could hear the service. Given the onset of Covid, the video recording of any event should be a simple matter by any standards, especially a funeral home that holds themselves out to be professionals. We are very grateful to have this video and for that reason are rating MM 3 star instead of 1star.”
