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 had an excellent experience with Advantage. I lost my sister to Covid19 and she had chosen cremation. I had no knowledge or experience about the process, but wanted to honor my sister’s wishes. The counselors at Advantage, from my very first call, were reassuring, patient, and willing to answer my many questions. I am extremely satisfied with the communication, kindness, and sensitivity of the staff. Erin, Tracey, and the others who answered my calls were wonderful. I would highly recommend the people and services of Advantage.”
— Vicki Kaplan
“The entire staff at Advantage Funeral are very professional, and did an excellent job assisting with arranging our mother’s funeral. From the very beginning Erin, Amanda and Tracy all made our family feel comfortable with their services and answering all the questions we had. Highly recommend.”
— Joel Alban
“Our mom passed recently and while trying to process that, we found out within an hour of her passing the place she had prepaid for services had gone out of business. Amanda and Erin made this ordeal a little less stressful for the family. Erin thank you for taking care of mom right away. Amanda thank you for all the emails and calls trying to get us and mom through this process. You and your staff helped us out above and beyond from beginning to end. This type of compassion you and your staff have for others is what matters to families. Thanks so much”
