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.

“Jay Doolittle and his coworkers arranged for the burial of my father with the Connecticut Veterans Cemetery. He was efficient and compassionate with all aspects of this work, charged a fair price, and was easy to do business with. We had a beautiful graveside service with military honors, and all my wife and I had to do was talk with him for a bit and answer a few questions. I highly recommend the Doolittle family for your needs.”
— Michael Gregory
“Doolittle funeral is excellent!! Do not listen to the one disgruntled review. Everyone was so kind and caring. I felt like they cared so much for me and wanted my husband to have the best possible, beautiful, respectful funeral, and he did. They didn't over charge me, in fact I think maybe undercharged me. Loosing my husband was so traumatizing and I was so devasted. Doolittle funeral home, Heidi especially was my angle in a dress suit☺️ thank you so much Doolittle! If anyone unfortunately needs a funeral home and you want caring people to take care of your loved one, this is the place.”
