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
“There are a lot of activities for international students/people. They are so professional and kind. You should visit there. I am sure you will find what you are looking for.”
— Ali Eryilmaz
“I am from out of town and wanted to attend a Church in Madison for Easter Sunday and we stop in for 10:30 service and the Church was beautiful and the pastor was very kind and not boring. A helper greeted us as soon as we walked in, and didn't even bat an eye to drop what she was doing and help us to the service. And the band that they have was nice.”
— Honna Hinzman
“Awesome WELS Luther chapel. Highly recommend. Everyone is very friendly and inviting. They have an excellent study area open to all students with free coffee and tea (you just have to buzz in at the front). They also have $3 dinners on Monday nights which are a great way to meet people. They worship at different times during the school year vs. the summer so be sure to check the website before heading over on Sunday.”
