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 just buried my mother in law and the arrangements were done at Pelham Funeral Home. Pelham Funeral Home and Jim O’Donnell are class acts. They were professional and sympathetic throughout the entire process. They made a difficult time so much easier, and we highly recommend them.”
— John
“We recently lost my nephew and it was very unexpected. Jim O'Donnell was so compassionate and patient with us. My family hasn't organized a funeral since 1996. In your shock and grief, you forget all the little details that need to be addressed. Jim was on top of everything, his communication was superb. The entire staff at Pelham Funeral Home was superior. We were able to honor my nephew exactly as he would have wanted.”
— S. Valentine
“At a most difficult time for our family, Jim O'Donnell and his team were absolutely professional and compassionate. Everything was handled with discretion, privacy and respect. They were a glance away if needed for assistance, yet gave us the feeling that the Home was completely ours to receive our guests. My mother looked peaceful and beautiful in repose; they really did a superb job. They helped us with information we hadn't thought to ask about, and let us know what was available, including costs, then let us discuss and choose in private. If you lose a loved one and don't know how to proceed, I give my heartfelt recommendation to Jim O'Donnell and the Pelham Funeral Home team to help you through your loss.”
