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.

What Families Say
“The Neptune Cremation Society - Paramus provided me and my family with exceptional service. Elizabeth, in particular, was companionate, caring, professional, and detailed. She kept me informed every step of the way and answered my questions immediately. Having no experience in this, coupled with it being a very difficult emotional time, she put me at ease and ensured my loved one was being cared for with dignity and respect. Furthermore, Elizabeth followed up with me well after the fact and even sent a thoughtful message acknowledging my loved one's first birthday after his passing. Please consider using their services as I was overly impressed with a service that nobody wants to think about, talk about, or plan for. Ask for Elizabeth...I will say you're welcome in advance.”
— Ryan Muller
“The reason I called the Neptune Society was because I had received an invitation addressed to me personally. I had been thinking about cremation and it was an appropriate time for me to discuss it further and so I called the number that was on the card. I got a telephone response that I had requested and made an appointment with the person that I spoke with. She came to my town and waited until I could have my daughter join me. She answered my daughter's and my questions thoroughly. There was no high pressure at all and I signed up for their offer. The price was affordable and complete for what I needed. Everything was done very professionally and sympathetically. I certainly can recommend the process and the presenter.”
— Emily Lourigan
