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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Lavigne Funeral Home truly went the extra mile to personalize their services to fit mine and my families needs when my husband passed unexpectedly. It was the absolute worst time in my life and they treated my husband, myself and our families with dignity and respect. The compassion they showed could be felt deep in my heart. I really needed them and they were there in many ways. The atmosphere is comfortable and very clean. The owners and staff were so wonderful, caring and loving. I felt that they too were a part of my family. I would recommend these wonderful people and their wonderful services to anyone and I certainly could never imagine my loved one's and myself going anywhere else.
