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
“Fellows, Helfenbein and Newnam Funeral Home in Easton, MD has the most caring and considerate people I have ever met. It only took one visit to make my wishes known and they handled EVERYTHING else. I even changed my mind about something a few days later and they excepted the change without any bother at all. They made recommendations when I asked and walked me through the whole process as painlessly as possible. They were patient, and respectful and never encouraged me to buy anything. It was obvious that they realized arranging this funeral was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I highly recommend their service.”
