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 had a wonderful experience using Meiselwitz during a very tough time. My grandpa was diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer and passed very quickly. We did not have a plan in place so had to call Meiselwitz in the middle of the night for help. They came and were compassionate and helpful in getting everything in place. Brian was wonderful to work with and did a small prayer service for my Grandpa at the cemetary. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for making this easier on the family and Grandma.”
— Merissa Zinda
“I want to extend our appreciation to Mike and Brian for their patience with my mother’s funeral and all that went into it. It was a very hard time and without there support and dedication to our family during our time of mourning it would have been a lot harder on us. Thank you again Mike and Brian for being professional in this and helping us make proper arrangements. Zachary Christel”
— Zachary and Cora Christel
