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.

“The level of service provided to me by the Reilly-Rakowski team was amazing. From the initial phone call for help to the day of the funeral everything meticulously fell in place. This was my fourth occasion to utilize their services (previously burying three siblings) and now the most important person in my life my mom needed to go to her final resting place. I live in Maryland and I needed to bring mom back home to Philly so that she could be buried in the family plot with her husband and children. I was overwhelmed and had no idea on how to accomplish everything that needed to be done. I spoke with Andrew and Kate and immediately realized that I was in good hands. They took the lead and assured me that everything would be perfect and it was. They arranged to get mom transported to Philly, contacted the priest at the church, gave me a contact to order flowers, prepared the memorial cards, contacted Holy Sepulchre cemetery, arranged for Marco Polo restaurant to cater a luncheon, and prepared a memorial video of mom's life with the pictures that I emailed them. Kate was amazing and I will always be grateful to her for the time that she took to learn about mom. On our initial phone call Kate asked me to tell her about mom. I was taken back at first not knowing how to respond or where to start. Well the words poured out of me. I didn't know at the time that Kate was taking notes on everything I said and the end result was a beautiful moving video of mom with her favorite songs that I just happened to mention. Lastly the day of the funeral was perfect, everything was in place, and we celebrated mom's life with the amazing help of Andrew and Kate. Thank you.”
