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 have dealt with Mark Canale 4 time since 1980. Each time I have found Mark and his staff to be very compassionate, caring, understanding, and extremely helpful. This last time they were even more compassionate if that's possible because I was make arrangements for my daughters funeral which was totally unexpected. My 2 sons know that when I leave this work they are to have that Funeral Home called. I would definitely recommend The Canale Tonella Funeral services to anyone that would ask me.”
— Alice Parker
“Several years ago, my mother chose the Canale-Tonella Funeral Home to pre-plan her funeral. She had very definite ideas of what she wanted at the time of her death. Mark was very respectful and considerate of those wishes. He and his staff made pre-planning effortless. I was totally satisfied with the service then that when my father died recently, I again chose the Canale-Tonella Funeral Home. I experienced the same excellent service. Mark suggested that the name my father used professionally be included in the obituary. Charli found a picture of an old time radio as a background photo to include on their website. Perfect touches! I recommend Canale-Tonella Funeral Home without hesitation.”
— Patricia Rozman
“Mark Canale and his staff were wonderfully supportive, kind and helpful in caring for our family when my stepfather died. Mark was incredibly gentle and patient when working with my 90 y.o. mother and made sure her desires for the memorial service were met. Our family will always be grateful for the professional and ethical care we received.”
