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.

“I cannot speak highly enough of Mayhew Funeral Home of Meredith! Our family has had the benefit of their care and help with four funerals since the 1980’s. They were always there to help in any way they could. Most recently, David Harris was our primary contact and was always very dependable and easy to reach every time I needed to contact him. When we visited the funeral home in person, we met Vicky, who was also very knowledgable and thorough. Both were very kind and helpful. Their service surpassed our expectations and made the entire memorial service, military honors, and burial a smooth experience for us. We are very pleased with their help with and handling of the whole process, and are blessed to have been able to have them facilitate it for us!”

“We honestly can’t say enough good about Mayhew. My father passed away suddenly on December 10th, and Mayhew was very prompt in their response to the call from both myself and the hospital. We dealt with David Harris, and Vic throughout the entire process. David and Vic are both very kind and compassionate people. They have been very patient with us throughout this process, and have gone above and beyond to make sure that everything was handled as stress free as possible. My father’s body was handled with the utmost amount of care and respect. He was cremated and returned to us in a timely manner. If we could give them 100 stars we would. We will definitely be referring them to friends and family in their time of need. Thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts!!”

“As a family, we have enlisted the service of the Mayhew Funeral Home over the years. I grew up in Plymouth NH with the Mayhew family and many of my friends and family have used their services over many years. Although the Mayhew family no longer owns the business, we experienced a good experience with the new owners. Based on our experience, I do recommend Mayhew Funeral Home to those who have a need for this service in the Meredith area.”
