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.

“The Gormley staff is of the utmost professionalism. The staff was respectful, professional and communicative. They directed one of the hardest days for my family with such sophistication. They communicated with us at key points to keep us informed of the process, so no one did anything awkward. Having them plan the wake and funeral logistics helped our family focus on more important things! Thank you to the Gormley Staff for making our day just a little bit easier, which means so much!”

“The decision as to which funeral home to entrust the care and services of your loved one is extremely personal. That said, I can state without equivocation that the team at Gormley Funeral Home does a wonderful job, from start to finish. My mother was recently waked from Gormley Funeral Home. Michael worked with the family to identify all our needs and expectations, with careful attention paid to all the details so that my mother was given the sendoff she deserved. From the Mass cards, to the beautiful funeral program they prepared, to the online obituary, everything was perfect. The staff is a great credit to the organization, as well. They were extremely courteous and sympathetic, and were always right where they should have been during the process, either holding a door or facilitating what they made look seamless.”

“I cannot give enough praise for the people at Gormley Funeral Home and the work that they do. I’ve used their services for both of my parents as well as several other family members. I would never even think of going anywhere else. Their caring and professional attitude goes above and beyond what is to be expected, especially at such a critical and emotional time. I know that I can trust them with my loved one and have all of the details of both, my wishes, and technical details, done with 100% satisfaction. Gormley Funeral Home is where you want to go.”
