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.

“On behalf of myself and the Campanella and DiScala families, we would like to express our sincerest thanks to John Lesko of Raymond Funeral Home. During what was a very difficult time for our family, John was a ray of light and removed so much worry and anxiety. As soon as we were in contact with him, he immediately responded and we knew we had his full attention to the situation. He was a wonderful balance of remaining professional yet extremely caring and understanding—and made himself available to speak with us day or night. He also took care of everything down to the smallest detail while remaining patient and supportive—always ensuring our wishes were respected. His prices were more than reasonable, but most importantly, his experience, knowledge and gentle guidance were invaluable to our family. He went above and beyond for us and exceeded our expectations.”
