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
“We are so grateful to Schoedinger Margarum Northeast Funeral Home for their compassion and professionalism during one of the most difficult times in our lives. They handled our mother’s services with such care, dignity, and attention to detail. A special thank you to Hailey, who helped us this time — her kindness, patience, and guidance meant more to our family than we can express. She truly made a difficult process feel manageable and supported. They also cared for our family beautifully when our father passed a few years ago, as well as with other members of our family. We deeply appreciate the consistent compassion and excellence they have shown us over the years.”
— Jeff May

“We had a wonderful experience with Schoedinger Margarum NE in the midst of difficult circumstances! The planning process was simple and not overwhelming like I had expected. Lauren was patient and explained everything in detail and then quickly answered my emails as I had questions arise. The staff at the service kept everything flowing smoothly and were very kind and supportive! I accidentally messed up my mom's lipstick and a gentleman drove all the way back to the funeral home to get the matching lipstick so it could be fixed. I appreciated that so much!! This is the second time we have used their services and I completely recommend them to anyone else in need!”
