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
“I cannot express enough gratitude to Jersey Cremation and Funeral Service, and especially Joe, for the care and compassion shown during one of the most difficult times of my life. From the very beginning, Joe demonstrated genuine empathy and understanding. He took the time to listen to every request we had, catered to all of our needs, and communicated clearly and empathetically throughout the entire process. Knowing that he was handling nearly everything for the service gave me a tremendous sense of relief during a time when it was hard to think straight. Joe’s calm demeanor and true professionalism made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. He never rushed me and my siblings, and always explained things thoroughly. The compassion, care, and respect he showed in honoring my mother was unforgettable and meant more to us than words can say.”
