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
“We cannot thank the team at our local Jewish funeral home enough for the care, dignity, and compassion they showed our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. From the very first phone call, they handled every detail with sensitivity and deep respect for Jewish traditions. They were incredibly knowledgeable about halachic requirements and guided us gently through each step of the process, ensuring everything—from the tahara to the funeral service—was carried out with the utmost kavod. Their coordination with the rabbi and the chevra kadisha gave us tremendous peace of mind, knowing that our loved one was being cared for according to tradition. What truly stood out was their compassion. They were patient with our questions, available at all hours, and never made us feel rushed. They helped arrange the service seamlessly and created an atmosphere that was both solemn and comforting. Many of our family members commented on how beautifully and respectfully everything was handled. During a time of grief and confusion, they brought calm, clarity, and kindness. We are deeply grateful for their professionalism, warmth, and unwavering support. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family in need of a Jewish funeral home that truly understands the importance of honoring both tradition and the memory of a loved one”

“I would highly recommend Goodman-Bensman funeral home. Unfortunately we needed them for the passing of both of my parents. This is a very hard time and I found them to be professional yet emotionally responsive and extremely well organized at a time when I could not be any of those things. Not to mention their kindness and attention to detail. Goodman-Bensman will always hold a special place in my heart for how they treated my family.”
— Rachael Marks
