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
“Thank you Lauren for helping us navigate our mother’s funeral with the highest level of professionalism and compassion. The original date for the visitation and church service needed to be postponed due to the February snow storm. Lauren and her team seamlessly coordinated all the changes while maintaining the highest level of customer service and compassion. The events went off seamlessly which is a huge relief and comfort during such a stressful time. Thank you to Ashley, Edie and Joe D for their hard work and dedication.”
— Kevin Gora
“There aren't enough kind words in the dictionary to describe how accommodating Lauren and her team were. We had a very unique situation involving a child losing his mother and Lauren was incredibly understanding of this. She went above and beyond what was asked of her to do. The compassion, understanding, and flexibility she displayed throughout this process could not have been outdone by any other establishment and I am eternally grateful to Lauren and team. I would highly recommend Cusick Funeral Home.”
— Matthew Carroll
“100% Saying our goodbyes to Dad here in my Bernardsville home was definitely made easier by the fact that we had Lauren handle Dad and us with such compassion. Cusick came recommended by family and Immaculate conception church where my daughter was married. My folks and I had just moved up here and we found a hometown feel at this personal caring funeral home. Jerry’s family recommends this place wholeheartedly!”
