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
“If I could give this place a NEGATIVE star I would. The lady who operates this place is super rude and doesn’t care about the dead. They told my aunt that my brother had a hair cut but he did not he looked rough, you could see the glue on his lips it was HORRIBLE! This lady then grabbed the mic in the middle of the service and was asking about a car didn’t even apologize before asking or anything.”

“My mother-in-law passed away last week and since it was her wish to be buried in Dominican Republic, we decided to go with Funeraria Alvarez. They have a lot of experience with sending loved ones to Dominican Republic and the process was very easy and quick. Ernesto and his team always made themselves available when we had questions and on the day of the funeral, they were very helpful. The facilities in Paterson and Passaic are very neat and well kept. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to bury loved ones in Dominican Republic.”
