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.

“Danbury Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Services handled both my father’s services in 2023 and now my mother’s services, and I truly cannot say enough about the care and compassion they have shown our family. Losing one parent is devastating. Losing both within a short period of time is something I never imagined navigating — yet Junior, Kristen, and the entire team made each experience feel supported, dignified, and deeply respectful. They guided me through every step with patience, kindness, and professionalism. During moments when I felt overwhelmed, they were calm, organized, and incredibly compassionate. When my mom passed recently, they once again treated her — and us — with such gentleness and honor. Everything was handled beautifully. The services for both of my parents were meaningful, peaceful, and exactly what we hoped for. They never made us feel rushed. They answered every question. They anticipated needs before we even had to ask. Junior and Kristen, thank you for your warmth, your sensitivity, and your genuine care. In the hardest moments of our lives, you helped carry us through with grace. I am deeply grateful to Danbury Memorial for honoring both my Mom and Dad with such dignity. I would highly recommend them to any family needing compassionate and professional funeral services.”

“We are incredibly grateful to Jr. and the staff at Danbury Memorial Funeral Home and Cremation for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed during such a difficult time. They went above and beyond in their kindness and diligence, treating our individual with the utmost respect and dignity. They took such care in every detail and made him look so handsome and at peace as we were able to say our final goodbyes which brought our staff great comfort. Their patience, empathy, and genuine concern meant more to us than words can express. During a difficult time, they made us feel supported and cared for every step of the way. We will always be thankful for their dedication and compassion.”
