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 recently attended a service here for a friend that lived in southern Delaware. As a funeral director myself, I was thoroughly impressed with the facilities and the level of service that they provide. The funeral directors were very friendly and knowledgeable, they have a lot of memorial and cremation merchandise to honor the deceased and the facility was absolutely immaculate. I would highly recommend them to any family that is unsure of a funeral home to call to care for their loved one.”
