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
“My grandfather’s funeral was held here last year, and unfortunately the experience was deeply disappointing due to the behavior of the funeral director. He was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout the process. Notably, he parked a very expensive car directly behind the funeral home with traffic cones placed around it, drawing clear attention to it. He then proceeded to brag about having just picked it up from Greenwich, Connecticut. Given the setting and the fact that we were there to mourn a loved one, this felt completely inappropriate, tone-deaf, and disrespectful. Afterward, I learned the car was worth well over $300,000, which only reinforced how out of touch this behavior was especially in a town where the median home price is roughly the same. This is not something grieving families should be confronted with or subjected to during a funeral. Additionally, before the service even began, he attempted to discuss paperwork and payment terms with my mother. This was not the time or place for financial discussions and added unnecessary stress during an already emotional moment. Any such conversations should have been handled by phone either well before or after the service. We had prepaid for arrangements years in advance, yet he acted as though he was doing us a solid by honoring the agreed upon price. Overall, there was a serious lack of empathy, professionalism, and basic awareness of how to treat families during one of the most difficult moments of their lives.”
