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
“We want to extend our sincere and grateful appreciation to JJ Duffy for their outstanding support during this difficult time. Jeff and his team went well above and beyond expectations. They were very detailed and responsive throughout the planning process. The personal touches including the memorial video, display, and booklet were amazing. Thank you for making this a special occasion in memory/honor of our father.”
— Shawn Bogdan
“I have availed myself to Duffy at two different times and have been very satisfied with their service both times. Most recently my mother passed away. Duffy was caring and compassionate. Jeff was very responsive and helpful. On the day of the funeral, Jeff and Justine were there and provided excellent guidance and communication from start to finish. I highly recommend Duffy.”
— Gary Kelly
“If I had to recommend a Funeral Home. It would be them! They took such great care of me and the service for my dad! Their compassion and empathy shows through the way they handle their business. Everyone within that funeral home is kind and welcoming. They took care of every detail and the service was beautiful! I’ve received several cards in the mail from them. Including a birthday card for my dad. Growing up in Cumberland I’ve been to JJ Duffy a few times and having to experience it on the opposite side was a different type of feeling. I will never go see anyone else for these services again.”
