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
“I would like to thank the staff at Romano Funeral Home for the excellent attention they showed our family during my father's arrangements and services. We had the pleasure of meeting with Carmelo, he was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The staff including his dedicated spouse, transformed their multi-function room into a lovely reception area with a selection of beautiful and delicious comfort food and drinks. The entire staff made us feel comfortable and assured us that everything would go as planned, and it certainly did. If services are in need, I would highly recommend the Romano Funeral Home/Dignity Memorial as they are very professional, compassionate, friendly and accommodating during the most difficult times of our lives. Thank you, I'm beyond grateful! Anania, Ingrid and Lisa; Solano Family”
