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.

What Families Say
“I cannot say enough good stuff about Jody and Brad at Tossing Funeral Home. They treated us more like family than just plain customers in our family's time of need with my dad’s passing. They exude a sincere warmth and compassion that only comes from genuinely caring about the families they serve. Our family ended up going with a smaller package than originally thought, but at no time did they make us feel awkward...We received the exact same full-service care. What more, their handling of minute details - right down to coordinating a reception site - was bar none. If you have to make funeral arrangements in the Southern Vermont area, these are the people to go to.”
