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
“Losing both of my parents just five months apart has been one of the hardest chapters of my life, and the support I received from Blake Chelmsford Funeral Home — especially from Jennifer — made an immeasurable difference. Jennifer went above and beyond the call of duty in every possible way. She truly dotted every “i” and crossed every “t,” handling each detail with professionalism, compassion, and remarkable thoroughness. She was consistently responsive, answering every question with patience, care, and promptness. Her guidance through each step of planning and execution brought comfort during an incredibly painful time. Jennifer’s dedication and thoughtfulness helped lighten a very heavy burden, and I am deeply grateful for the way she supported my family. I wholeheartedly recommend Blake Chelmsford Funeral Home, and I cannot thank Jennifer enough for her exceptional service.”

“Last fall, our family used Blake's to handle the arrangements for my father-in-law's funeral service. We coudn't have asked for a better experience than what we experienced with Blake during a very difficult time for our family. Their team was professional, kind and compassionate through the entire process, from start to finish. Honestly, we couldn't have done it without them. They made the whole process as worry-free as possible for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of funeral services.”
