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
“We chose McLaughlin & Sons Funeral Home for our mother’s funeral arrangements, and I am incredibly grateful that we did. From beginning to end, everything was handled immaculately. Tony Cefalo went above and beyond to accommodate every need and request we had. He was truly hands-on, extremely attentive, and very accommodating throughout the entire process. It never felt like we were dealing with funeral home staff—they treated us like family. Nicole did an amazing job with our mom’s makeup; she looked so natural and peaceful, as if she were simply sleeping. Roman, the valet, was absolutely courteous, polite, and efficient, which added another level of care and professionalism during such a difficult time. I highly recommend McLaughlin & Sons during your time of need. You will not be disappointed.”
