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.

“New Haven Funeral and Cremation Services did an outstanding job when my Dad passed away. George Menta was very kind, caring and compassionate with my family during such a difficult time. These times are never easy for anyone. George made a difficult time for my family very peaceful. He was very professional while being heartfelt and concerned by what my family was going through. Thank you George”

“My mom passed away Easter Sunday and I picked to go through New Haven Funeral Service and I was extremely happy with their service. Everyone I dealt with was very nice and helpful including George. He is a great man! The best part was they always answered my phone calls or returned them in great timing. I called around before finding them and no one ever got back to me. The process was very smooth and they made the most difficult time of my life for me easy and I felt comfort and not alone in the process with all their support because they handled everything for me. Thank you for your great service. ~Tracie G.”

“George Menta took very good care of my daughter. I live over 1,000 miles away and he honored all my requests with kindness and empathy. I couldn't have asked for a more caring person to handle my most heartbreaking circumstance.”
