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
“This business DOESN'T deserve no stars at all. My family and I felt that we got rushed through everything from beginning to the very end and they NEVER order us a minister for our small closing prayer service or anything at the end. They are very heartless and money hungry brats, they dont care about anything. I make darn sure that no one will ever come to you for as long as I can talk and breath.”
— Eileen Vest
“I have had two family members taken care of in their death by Mitchell Wiedefeld. We have had the pleasure of working with Steven East both times. He was kind, efficient and understanding and went the extra mile for us as we came from out of town and had a limited time and money. He gave both of our senior family members his expert care and attention. Thank you Steven East.”
— Carol Eastman
“Unfortunate circumstances led to a two day visit. The team was friendly and helpful throughout, and attention to detail was exceptional. Sometimes it’s the little things that matter… making an effort to ensure close family got pole positions for the drive to the cemetery and picking a route that emphasized low traffic and minimal lane changes made a difficult day a lot easier to navigate. Clear and empathetic communication throughout. Unpleasant circumstances, excellent logistics and service.”
— Long Ron
