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
“Bedell-Pizzo Funeral Home made the most difficult time of my life so much easier. Paul, Karen, Paulie and their family were so kind and always available to answer any questions. They handled everything for me and gave my mother a beautiful service. I live out of state and was unable to handle things in person prior to the day of the service and they made sure all my wishes were met. I can’t say enough about how fantastic of an experience I had using Bedell-Pizzo. Very compassionate people.”
— Mrs. P

Barbara is simply wonderful. Words cannot describe how pleased we are with her. From start to finish she was so caring and helpful during our grief she is just a wonderful person. Paul took the time to handle my fathers service from start to finish. He orchestrated the entire service from beginning to end with his staff professionally, lovingly and smoothly hence putting my family and I at ease.
