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
“When my beautiful wife Tina passed recently while on vacation in London, I was shattered. Trying to make sense of it all, 3000 miles from home, all alone...felt impossible. Knowing our families had worked with Phaneuf in the past, I called. After explaining my situation, I was immediately transferred to owner Buddy Phaneuf. As he listened to my broken heart, he calmly reassured me that he would take care of us, and explained the first steps I would need to take. Over the course of the next 4 weeks, that energy never changed. He expertly (and gracefully) navigated what could have been frustrating roadblocks, and when my Tina was finally brought home, he and his staff handled everything perfectly. If it was possible to give more than 5 stars, I would. Below is a picture of the beautiful keepsake urn that I selected (from Phaneuf), which allows me to honor her here in the home we shared.”
