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.

“During one of the hardest days of my life, this funeral home showed true compassion and professionalism. When I called, Katie answered and immediately put me at ease. She guided me with empathy, patience, and genuine care—something I didn’t feel from any of the other funeral homes I had contacted. She was the only person after contacting 5 other funeral homes who was truly helpful and understanding. She arranged for someone to come to the house to pick up my dad, they arrived within 30 min, which brought our family so much comfort in that difficult moment. On 12/10/25 we met with Aldo to go over the arrangements, and he was truly a blessing. He went above and beyond to support our family, explaining everything clearly and treating us with respect and kindness. His compassion during such a trying time meant more than words can express. I am deeply grateful to both Katie and Aldo. Their level of care, professionalism, and genuine humanity made an unbearable situation a little easier. I highly recommend this funeral home to anyone who needs compassionate support during a loss.”

“I could write pages about how wonderful Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home was in caring for my family during our time of grief. We physically lost two loved ones, and we would not go to anyone else but Strano & Feeley. The excellent customer service begins with the initial home call, taking possession of the deceased loved one (e.g., at home or hospital), then the intake meeting with the family. The clean calming atmosphere starts outside (e.g., fishpond) then continues inside with comfortable furniture and smiling staff to greet you. No matter which staff you receive for the intake meeting, they all conduct themselves with professionalism, care, and provided clear information on the various options. As a grieving loved one, I’d suggest you come to the table with your grief but an open mind and patience with your loved ones present with you and the staff. What I appreciated was for one loved one- we had all the answers prepared, for the other we were figuring out as we went along- staff provided time and space in the intake meeting for us to calmly figure things out. Having someone take notes in the family to compare with the staff’s notes is always useful – they were always on point anyway but it’s good to remember what you ordered and they will provide you a folder with information from the initial session as well. Any insurance or cemetery logistics were handled on the phone right away by the staff in the first session – which was amazing to watch them navigate the complex systems of care. We had a loved one cremated and another buried in a nearby state – the funeral home still took care of everything, just be sure to provide your photos, music and obituary timely. Nothing was overly complicated and if it was, they never showed it, just showed up for us in every way - we had no worries. When it was time to collect our loved one’s things (e.g. urn or possessions not buried) they provide you with a beautiful bag of memories, some unexpected, that showed more care than we could have imagined. By the end of our grieving season this summer – this had become not only a funeral home but an appendage to our family. The staff will forever be a part of our loved ones’ legacy. P.S. I would highly recommend the nearby Atterbury VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3420 for a repast and their regular caterer Ms. Lori. Everyone was such a blessing and joy to work with, and they took care of absolutely everything including décor and the food was delicious. Thank you to Jamie and the entire Strano & Feeley team, With Gratitude, The Gillyards”

“I can’t believe I’m just now getting around to leaving a review, but in February 2023 I delivered my baby boy at 21 weeks. He was not going to survive due to him having congenital heart defects. Someone was able to pick my son up from Christiana Hospital and he was cremated free of charge. They did some more things, went above and beyond for us. I can not express my gratitude. I have had so much going on the last few years and things are finally starting to settle down so I hope that I am able to show my appreciation soon. I think about your kindness often. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
