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
“Adrienne, her father Mark and brother Francis have continued their family legacy of compassion after many decades. I cannot express how grateful I am for their dedication and attention to everything I needed. They definitely go above what you'd expect and they do it with grace.”
— Megan Gaeta
“Mark was very informative, kind and compassionate with regard to the cremation details for my sister. We talked at length about my sister and family. I am a realist and I am sure he was relieved he didn't have to wear the compassionate face all of the time. We even joked about a few things. Great guy!”
— Rosalie Strawcutter
“Mark and his staff were amazing during a very difficult time for my family. Caring, compassionate and accommodating. If you're looking for a personal touch this is the place to call in your time of need.”
— Natalie Coleman
