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.

What Families Say
“Our family used Graham Putnam & Mahoney twice, once in 2003 and recently this past week in Nov 2020. Our experience exceeds 5 stars. The team is respectful, polite, courteous, understanding and professional. Peter is just a wonderful human being. He is super helpful and arranged everything. He is informative and super resourceful. If you need anything or just advice, he will recommend people he trusts and we trust Peter. Peter is like an attorney and a psychiatrist to our family. In times of death, Peter is able to bring a smile to everyone at the wake and funeral. Let that comment sink in for a few minutes. During this Covid time, everyone who attended the wake at Graham Putnam & Mahoney felt safe. Team members all wore masks. There were signs of social distancing and they were enforced. The inside was clean, bright, and comfortable. There were multiple rooms with seats. The casket, flowers and pictures were laid out beautifully. We think ambiance is the most important thing at a wake and Graham Putnam & Mahoney just felt right to everyone. The ambiance was that of peace, respect, brightness and positivity. Our family is Catholic but those who weren't Catholic had no issues paying their respects. The drive from the funeral home to the church was fast and orderly. There were several cars to ensure our group traveled together. Just want to reiterate that the entire team at Graham Putnam & Mahoney are total professionals. Our family is happy and proud that we were able to lay to rest our loved ones with the help of Graham Putnam & Mahoney. Thank you”

“Happy with the service, as happy as you can be at a funeral home. Professional. No lauging or joking like other places like nordgren. Not that i want a place for this kind of thing ever again but this place will be an option again.”

“Worst funeral home ever. Unprofessional. The funeral director interrupted our loved one’s services multiple times to discuss finances and paperwork in front of friends and family during the services. Staff told us to ‘wrap things up’ a half hour before the calling hours were over- people were still coming in to pay their respects. And the funeral director told my mother and nephew that it was ‘time to leave’ when they were kneeling at my brother’s coffin paying their final respects. This place has zero class and zero respect for families of the deceased. Multiple letters were sent to the owner Peter Stefan and he never resolved anything and decided our complaints weren’t important enough to continue investigating and has yet to respond. It may be the cheapest in the city, but their services aren’t even worth a penny.”
