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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“We are so grateful to the entire team at D’Alessandro Funeral Home for the exceptional care and compassion they showed during such a difficult time. From beginning to end, they were respectful, responsive, and made the process seamless—we hardly had to lift a finger. What stood out most was their sensitivity to our family’s unique needs. Several of our loved ones are deaf, and the staff made a point to communicate in a clear and thoughtful way that made everyone feel included and understood. Our family is also mixed faith, and while we didn’t have much knowledge about Jewish funeral traditions, they guided us every step of the way with patience and grace. They even wore yarmulkes at the burial, which was a deeply respectful gesture that meant a great deal to us. I would highly recommend D’Alessandro to anyone, especially those who are Jewish but more secular. Their balance of professionalism and genuine care made all the difference.”
