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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

Paul St. Louis, Jessica DeMilio, and Charles Bettencourt were so attentive and compassionate, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did to help us during such a difficult time in our lives. We received so many compliments from so many people that attended on how professional and courteous everyone at your organization was. May God continue to bless each one of you, as well as everyone at Silva and Faria Funeral Home. We know that my dad was smiling down from Heaven yesterday xo. Thank you from the family of the late Joao "John" Aguiar - Diane, Palmira, John and Rachel”

“Just left from my brother's wake & I would never recommend this place to anyone, the girl had a horrible/miserable look on her face the whole time, constantly walking in & out during the service, wrapping things up 20 mins before the service was over talking about pushing people out the door, HORRIBLE!! The only person seemed nice was the gentleman downstairs opening the door for everyone!”
