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 have had several funeral serves here for my loved ones and they did great jobs which is why I kept going back ! But Buti recently called with a very unusual request to use the parking lot for a horse and carriage to pick up my daughter for prom and without hesitation the answer was yes ! Mr Pernel even added it to the calendar and his receptionist called the day before to confirm ! Thank u so much this really helped make my daughters day ❤️💚”

“These ppl are thieves! Last year we used this company for my father's homegoing services. I will say they did an awesome job with his body. But they definitely stole my father's wedding ring and necklace! That ring had not been off his fingers in the most 40 years my parents have been married. I saw that ring with my own 2 eyes when I went to ok his body for the funeral. The next day at the funeral I was the first person at the casket and that ring was gone! Instead of trying to come to a resolution, he says his staff wouldn't steal and said someone from my family must have done it! We also never got his superman necklace back either. I know what I saw on my dad's hand at that funeral home but just to be safe I contacted MetroHealth where he passed and his wedding ring was indeed on his inventory sheet. So that only leaves one option as to who got it....”

“What can I say about Pernel Jones & Sons Funeral Home. Unapologetically, I can say the following: 1. The entire staff were prompt in responding to my family's requests. 2. Mr Jones known forever in my family as "Dr. Jones". Was masterful in making our casket selections; insurance details; hospital coordination; and most importantly being fair on the pricing. 3. Henry, the makeup artist made up my granny and she was as natural as she was in real life. His patience was well noted. 4. The limo driver, Eric Simmons was courteous and had such a pleasant disposition. We felt well cared for the whole day. For this to be a sad day for my family Pernel's Funeral Home made sure to walk us through a very difficult day with true grace. Thank you for your service and professionalism.”
