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.

“Holt - Woodbury was just fantastic to our family at a time when I was so lost in what to do, I’d say fate dealt me an unexpected blessing on the worst day of my life. Within 15 minutes of the request, Sara from Holt-Woodbury was one on witn with my daughter and I tending to every detail. I was very informed, relaxed in what I needed next and we were set with a meeting day and time. The H-W Funeral Services took care of us in every aspect. Never a glitch, never a “no” or can’t do that. At a time like that, you are so overwhelmed you’d probably be ok with a “no” or can’t do that. H-W had nothing but yes’s and okay’s. Every detail was taken care of. Everything was handled and done right. We went the way of the US Veterans Cemetery. Things must be done by their rules. It went beautifully . H-W handled all the details,, our family experienced our grieving and loss only. No horror story, no regrets. Before deciding - consider Holt-Woodbury. Mistakes at a time like this - make it unforgettable, forever. Rodney Watson Sr, Weare, NH”
