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
“Kelley & Spalding Funeral Home has been wonderful to work with. They have made a challenging process as easy as possible and guided us through all of the details, despite contacting them on a holiday. We really liked that they only do one service per day, so we were not rushed or crowded. Their recommendations for a reception and officiant were both wonderful. Kaitlin and Kelsey went above and beyond helping to engage with our preschooler so we could fully participate in the memorial service. We recommend Kelly & Spalding without reservation.”
— Jessica Costa
“We had services for my brother and dad at Kelley & Spalding. The care and compassion from every single person there really helped us through those days. From planning, set up, assisting guests, transferring flowers, to a special chair for mom... they were supportive and helpful. I’ve attended many services here and always observed the same care shown to all. They’re the best I’ve encountered.”
— LJ S
