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
“I can’t thank Hummel Funeral Home enough for the outstanding, professional and respectful service they provided when our mother passed. We feel they went above and beyond our expectations from start to end. From our first meeting, Paul listened to our ideas, made suggestions, and the planning went flawlessly from there. The Fairlawn location is absolutely beautiful, bright and very welcoming. We felt grateful to have been able to use this new location. Thank you for everything you did to help us get through this difficult time! Sincerely, Carrie Scott”

“I had a pet cremated by Hummel back in December 2019. I still get comments on how beautiful the paw print is on the heart background. I had another kitty pass this month and I was devastated to learn that Hummel no longer offers this service. I wanted to come by and drop a review to remind you guys how thankful I am for you all of these years later. It takes special people to cremate and honor loved ones. Thank you so much”
— Abby Hopkins
“Used to use Hummel for all my family funerals, now highly disappointed in their service. They sent us the wrong death certificate for my mom and also can’t locate where they sent my mom’s death certificate to. Very unprofessional. On top of that my mom prepaid for what she wanted with her funeral but they still tried to upsell us. Please stay away”
