Current Prices, Immediate Need and Arrangement Questions

This guide does not quote package prices because current itemized funeral costs must be confirmed directly with the funeral provider. Starks Family’s site includes planning and service resources, but families should verify current charges before deciding.

  1. Call Filbrandt Chapel. Use (269) 637-0333 and explain whether this is immediate need, preplanning, cremation, burial, or a service question.
  2. Ask for current itemized prices. Request pricing for the exact goods and services being considered.
  3. Separate outside charges. Cemetery, clergy, death certificates, obituary publication, flowers, and other cash advances may be separate.
  4. Check family instructions before ordering flowers. The obituary may name a memorial fund, charity, church, or another preference.
  5. Review the FTC Funeral Rule. Use it to understand federal price-disclosure rights.

Michigan Death Certificates

An obituary is not a certified death certificate. For a death that occurred in Michigan, use the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Vital Records route or the appropriate county clerk route.
