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
“Professional. Respectful. Great communication. Warm and welcoming. I actually was dealing with Parente-Lauro in Bridgeport, but my mom's contract was transferred over to Lesko. I couldn't have wished for a more smooth transition. Kevin and Kyle were great. When my mom passed, everything happened exactly as I was already prompted it would. No surprises. I would highly recommend them for your needs. As a sole caretaker for my mom, I'm just so grateful that with everything else I had going on during this period, making final arrangements wasn't another thing adding to my stress. Thank you guys! edit: 10/9/2024 - your reply to my review on my mom's 1yr homegoing anniversary just made me recall the entire process and again, -when i think back, i'm still so truly grateful for the seamless transaction you provided. I am forever thankful.”

“Kevin, his family and staff were attentive to our family at our time of need. We were able to welcome our family and friends in a safe manner during the pandemic. With their help we also welcomed our mom’s church family for her funeral services held the home. The service was a wonderful tribute to a great lady. We were even able to broadcast to family members that could not travel to CT.”
— Robert Mattis
“Excellent. Very professional. We used them for my mother's funeral in November 2017. Any time we had an issue or a change, they resolved it quickly and professionally. Frank and Kevin (and the team) were amazing and compassionate and genuinely care about doing right by you. Cannot recommend them enough.”
