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.

“My step dad past away October 2024 and we already knew we were going to choose newcomers Northeast chapel because they have taken care of plenty of friends and family with such grace and excellence. Unfortunately just 10 months later we had to use newcomers Northeast chapel again My mother passed away on August 18th 2025. And once again they went above and beyond to make sure my family and my mother's final visitation was proper and handled with care. Thank you to all the staff of newcomers but especially thank you to Jessica Ball you were really compassionate and caring .”

“Joe Gustin and staff did an excellent and beautiful service for my stepdaughter Stacey. Their caring during this difficult time put me at ease knowing they would take care of everything and everything was beautiful. I can't thank them enough. The pastor they referred us to did a phenomenal service and his caring went above and beyond. I truly felt they did their best to accommodate us and my beloved stepdaughter. Thank you and I love each and every one of you.”
