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.

“Joe Schuller is a FANTASTIC funeral director. He is so kind, caring, considerate, compassionate, empathetic, respectful, patient, professional, thoughtful, giving, and timely. When dad passed at Assisted Living, Joe took the time to ask about dad and let me share with him. He was so patient while I took time with my dad, saying goodbye. He was so respectful with dad’s body and allowed my husband and I to help prepare dad for transport - something I needed for my grieving. Later that day he drove to my mom’s and listened and visited while handling the paperwork tactfully and professionally. Carly and Bev kindly and professionally assisted me with all my questions. Schuller Family Funeral Home exceeded to help my family at this difficult time during the death of my father.”
