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
“On October 29th I lost my dad, I felt so lost i couldn't think straight, Community Funeral Chapels was called to pick up my dad's body and can I just say that Brenda the owner was amazing. She hugged me tight and right then and there i knew she was definitely my right choice to handle my dad's celebration of life. The day of the wake i was once again greeted with such kindness and warmth. Thank you Community Funeral Chapels for the grace you showed us but most importantly the grace you showed my dad. Though we are still grieving i know I made the absolute best decision in entrusting my dads celebration of life to you. Thank you once again for everything you all did for me and my family.”

“I had a very disappointing experience with Community Funeral Chapels in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The staff was unprofessional and dismissive,adding stress to an already difficult time..They were not transparent about their fees.Their website listed a $90 storage fee, but in reality, it was $100 per day. Moreover,my mother was there less than 24 hours,yet the owner Brenda claimed she will waive the fee. However, this gesture felt misleading,as the fee shouldn’t have applied in the first place since it was under 24 hours. Additionally, there was a $495 fee for recovering my mother‘s body at the nursing facility, which was not communicated beforehand. Moreover,Brenda was not willing to negotiate or work with me on these issues. I hope they improve their transparency and professionalism in the future.”
