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
“My mother prepaid funeral expenses for my father about a year before he passed. Picking out the casket, stone and other service options in advance help so much when going through the emotions of a loved one passing. After my dad passed Rob and his staff were fantastic handling all the details and coordinating burial, stone engraving, minister, music etc. The service was absolutely beautiful and some of my dads personal items. They did a great job preparing my Dad. Loved how we could easily upload photos that were streamed professionally across a screen in the back. They made the entire experience so much easier especially for my mom despite the emotional toll we had saying goodbye to our loved one. Highly recommended.”

“I would like to thank everyone at the Chapman Funerals & Cremations, 98 Bedford St., Bridgewater, MA, for the lovely, caring way that you took care of my husband and his cremation. I changed my mind quite a few times about what was going to be done and in the end Meghan said the prayers and lovely poems and I could not have asked for any better. I highly recommend Chapman’s if you are wondering where you should have your loved one for a cremation or funeral. I have only good praises for them!”
