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
“Our family is deeply grateful to Peterson Bassi Funeral home for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed during such a difficult time. Every detail was handled with kindness and respect. They made the entire process easier and truly honored our loved one’s memory. We couldn’t have asked for better support and guidance.”
— Anna Poulin
“My husband died after a brief illness. Gianna was the director in charge of my husband’s funeral. Gianna was just what we needed. She was calm, level headed and what was most appreciated, she did not push us into choosing anything we did not want. In an organized way, she gently guided us all the way through to completion of the planning phase. I was very anxious entering this phase of my husband’s funeral. Because of Gianna’s kind professionalism I was immediately put at ease and felt comfortable with every decision I made. I would highly recommend Peterson-Bassi Chapels.”
— Jacquie Norton
“My wife of 22years passed recently and I needed a local funeral home to assist me through all of the details and to give me the support I knew I would need during this difficult time. I turned to Peterson Bassi to help me get through this immense time of grief. Scott and his associates were no less than remarkable helping me navigate through this difficult time. I am so thankful for their Grace and empathy and I highly recommend them. In fact they still check in on me to see how we are doing as a family and it makes me feel good knowing I wasn’t just a business transaction but that they care about the surviving family unit. You will feel in good hands if you need them. -Bryan Gallagher”
