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 don't think anyone is truly prepared when it's time for a family member to pass however in our case it truly was something we never saw coming. When my brother passed away in Sept of 2020 I had no idea where to start and simply put "funeral home near me" in the search bar. I called Bordentown home for funerals and had the pleasure of speaking to Robert. He quickly set my mind at ease and made an exceptionally difficult situation just about as pleasurable as it could be. Robert was attentive to every detail and at a time when my mother and I couldn't stop crying he had us smiling and joking all the while remembering wonderful memories and planning a beautiful celebration of life for my brother. As we started go share the information about the service for my brother we heard from many neighbors and friends about the exceptional funeral director Robert is and the wonderful services he provides. Speaking with Robert felt more like speaking with a dear friend. He is beyond knowledgeable and to say he pays attention to every detail puts it very mildly. He was beyond outgoing and knew the right questions to ask so he could get a vivid picture of the man my brother was. We enjoyed speaking with Robert so much that we asked him to oversee the ceremony. Robert wrote a lovely speech and made us all feel like he personally knew my brother. I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience my family had with Robert and his staff.”

“Rob's support and guidance as we planned our mother's funeral felt like he was a part of our family. Rob was really patient and willing to answer so many questions beyond just burial details. The little details he suggested made our mother's funeral exceptional. Rob is a pro at his profession. We would give him a 10 star rating if we could. Bordentown Home for Funerals is a family owned business and it is one of the best!”
— Julie Sitko
