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.

“Highly recommend. This funeral home is both professional and caring. Jonathon and Frank were attentive to all details, which eliminated undue stress on the family at this difficult time. Their calm confidence was reassuring in the planning of a wake and funeral for a beloved 94 year old uncle. They listen to your requests, answer your questions and provide the funeral service you design together for your loved one. We used their South Main location, which worked perfectly for family and friends. Thank you to all of Oliveira's team.”
