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
“The compassionate care and service that was provided by John E. Day in Red Bank was a great comfort to me and our family at a very difficult time. During the initial meeting Ginny Sanzo went above and beyond to make everyone in our family feel welcome and as comfortable as possible during a very emotional time. Amanda, Josie, and the entire staff was wonderful to work with. Each person I encountered listened with an open heart, they were professional, caring, and patient, taking great care of every detail. I cannot express enough how thoughtful and responsive each person was throughout the entire process, and beyond. Their Home is well taken care of. It is evident that they take pride in their appearance. Their parlors are immaculate, updated, and the atmosphere is serene. The outside landscape is very well maintained and inviting. The fact that Michael was in their care was a comfort which means so much during a time such as this.They helped give our loved one a beautiful send off. I would recommend them to everyone. We appreciate everything the entire staff has done for our family.”

“I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the excellent care our family received from everyone at John E. Day. We lost my dad recently and my mother-in-law last year, and both times every single person treated us with utmost compassion and professionalism… every single step of the way. Ted is an amazing Director, and you can’t help but feel comforted and at ease immediately in his presence. Thank you all, and God bless you.”
— John Taylor
“The staff at John E Day Funeral home were all compassionate, friendly and very thoughtful during our time of need. Ted was professional and respectful from day one. Jasmine, Emily, Josie, and Amanda were all a big help as well. I had so many questions that they promptly answered. There was someone always available to answer my call and/or emails. On the day of the services, they made the day as comfortable and seamless as possible. I would highly recommend.”
