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
“Galante provided a lovely, peaceful funeral for my loved one. Dana was totally professional, competent, respectful and caring throughout, leading us through the difficult process with grace and respect. The only caveat I must mention is that though Dana consulted with her superior in our presence about the costs of the services we requested, and he signed the contract in our presence, we were notified just prior to our first viewing the following day that additional money was required. This placed us in a terrible, indelicate position at a very emotional moment. Who would question additional fees at such a time? Seemed a bit like extortion to me. All in all, I’d highly recommend Galante (Ask for Dana), but insist they honor their original price and contract.”
— Laura Greeley
“To the Galante Funeral Home - I can not thank you enough for wonderful and professional services you have provided to me and my family during our time of loss. Special thank you goes to Dana Marie Testa - for her humanistic approach, empathy, respect to our culture, and special attention to detail with planning my mother's services - you are a gem.”
— T Brifranco
“They were very kind and understanding about our financial situation. They worked with us and assisted in every way they could so my mom could have the funeral we may not have been able to provide. I truly appreciated their help and the fact that they did not take advantage of us at our most vulnerable time. Thank you so much for your services.”
