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
“No one ever looks forward to making plans with a funeral home. But the experience we had with Scott made it easier. Scott was very compassionate and so helpful. He explains everything and also listens to your needs. We were very grateful.”
— Karen Sovcik
“I understand when a family member dies it is not easy and can be expensive but to threaten after only a year of mother's passing that "we are going to send to collections and I don't think you want that route" and state that it has been a year this bill has not been paid is a little insensitive. I am all for paying someone for a service but to be talked to like that by Scott not cool! I said I will talk to my dad who is also now sick and to remind that my mother does a year ago knowing very well I know that makes you a sucky human. I was willing to work it out and always do but you should be able to filter and have some compassion for the family. I am not expecting free just kindness and I will make it happen. RUDE and would not let them take another one of my family members again. SaxTiedmann is the best the year before my mother passed my Godchild passed and I made payment plan and they were so compassionate and lovely with me. Scott really needs to learn how to communicate with grieving families.”
— Diana Tumasz
“From the time my father passed away in our home on October, 2023 till the the day he was laid to rest a week later, the staff made this process so easy and uncomplicated for us. Gianna M. was the first to talk us through the first steps of choosing the casket, wake and funeral arrangements. She was so pleasant, compassionate and understanding. The wake and funeral came out so beautiful because of the her professionalism as well as the rest of the staff. They worked well with our parish, St.Williams. Dad would’ve been happy with the services. I totally recommend them. If you have a big family like mine, the parking lot is a bit small but plenty of parking on belmont Ave. Our family is so grateful to Gianna and fellow staff at Belmont Funeral Home. Thank you so much! 🙏🏽🙂”
