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
“My uncle passed away in NY and we live in Florida. He had made no arrangements other than to advise he wanted cremation. I found Manhattan Jewish Funeral Home with a google search and relied on past reviews. Within a couple of hours, everything had been taken care of. Michael Lanza could not have been more helpful and accommodating, and responded immediately to my calls and questions. We were able to do everything over the phone and by email. I highly recommend.”
— Julie F
“I could not ask for better treatment at the most difficult of times than that I received from Ron Rogers and Kayla Fountaine at the Manhattan Jewish Funeral Home. Ron not only worked with me to plan a wonderful funeral for my wife, but he worked tirelessly to get her body back from Morocco, where she had died suddenly. And Kayla picked my wife’s body up from the airport late into the evening and prepared her body for viewing and burial well into the morning. The funeral was a complete success, with photos of my wife on a screen that funeral goers saw as they entered the building and a room large enough to hold all attendees. Ron also engineered the burial of my wife’s body at the Town of Rhinebeck Natural Burial Ground and gave me advice on the perfect rabbi for the gravesite service. I cannot say enough about the help and attention I received when I needed it the most.”
— Bob Nirkind
“Things progressed quickly with my mother and Michael and his team at the Manhattan Jewish Funeral Home did what any great service business does, they made things easy and seamless at a difficult time for my family. I would highly recommend them.”
— Jeffrey Litwin
