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
“Death is hard enough and then comes the planning of what to do. The heart is heavy with grief and your mind cannot think properly. Brian and Nathan were Godsends when my brother, Mark, passed away. They were ever so helpful and kind and generous of spirit. They understood the emotions emitted by those affected. I cannot say enough how professional these people are. I highly recommend them if you want peace of mind!”
— Memere Fournier
“Recently our family experienced an unexpected tragedy. Upon arrival, Brian couldn't have been more kind or informative with helping us with our needs. He made what seemed to be an impossible situation possible. He covered all of our options in a concerning and caring manor. We would recommend this facility for families in need of help during a difficult time.”
— Mark Kilbride
“Very polite and caring people to do business with. The staff was very sweet to me over the phone. This is the best funeral home out of all the funeral home businesses in Washington County. I highly recommend them to anyone. Other people have shared that this funeral home is the best way to go for any funeral arrangements.”
