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
“Szal's Funeral Home provided superior care and support in handling the details and funeral for my Mom. They were very helpful with dealing with all aspects of the funeral and it was greatly appreciated. Szal's has been the "go to" funeral home for our family going back to my grandparents' families. Thank you so much to Mike and everyone at Szal's for making a difficult time easier. The Molitoris Family”

“My mom suddenly passed away and I was left calling many funeral homes for answers. None were friendly until I called Szal Funeral Home. Tanya answered the phone and was the angel that I needed. She answered all of my questions, concerns and within 24 hours everything was completed. When arriving to the funeral home everyone from Hope, Tanya, Mike, his mom and another gentleman were so amazing, friendly, compassionate, made me smile and I knew that I picked the right place for my mom. I cant express how much their care meant to me and my family during a difficult time. Even after, I have received calls and texts to check on me. And the slushie machine for my grandsons were a hit!! My grandson. 5, even asks if we can go back there to see the nice people and get more slushies!! Thank you ALL for your kindness.”

“In October 2025, I unexpectedly lost my husband. I was heartbroken, lost, and completely overwhelmed. During one of the most difficult times of my life, Michael Ferrell at Szal Funeral Home was truly a blessing. From the very beginning, Michael guided me through every step with compassion and patience. He was always available by phone, text, or email whenever I had a question, no matter how small. When I had no idea where to begin with insurance paperwork, he stepped in and helped me navigate it all. On the day of the service, my beloved husband looked just like himself — something that meant more to me than words can express. Michael and his staff took such great pride and care in making that day as special and as easy for me as possible. No one ever wants to face a time like this, but I am so incredibly grateful to Szal Funeral Home for being there to guide and support me with such kindness and dignity.”
