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.

“I want to sincerely thank DeVito’s Funeral Home for the compassion, professionalism, and care they showed to my family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. When my mother passed, they didn’t hesitate to come and bring her into their care—even though it meant driving two hours round trip to do so. That alone spoke volumes about their dedication and respect. From that first moment through every step of the funeral planning process, DeVito’s treated us with kindness. They were patient, understanding, and never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. They walked us through every decision with clarity and warmth, which brought a great deal of comfort during an emotional time.
