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 Sean and the entire team at Chubenko Funeral Home in Port Reading for the beautiful and dignified services they provided for our mother. From our first meeting through the service at the mausoleum, Sean guided us with compassion, patience, and genuine care. Every detail was handled with professionalism and respect, allowing us to focus on honoring our mother’s life and legacy. The catholic services at St. Joseph’s and mausoleum service was especially meaningful and beautifully coordinated. During such a difficult time, their kindness and support brought our family comfort and peace. We will always be thankful for everything they did for us.”
— Millie Cruz
“I cannot thank Shawn at Chubenkos funeral home enough for the treatment he gave to myself and my family on behalf of my Mom. He provided a tremendous amount of respect for us and more importantly respect for my Mother’s final wishes. Everything was beautiful. He was the sweetest, kindest, most compassionate man who helped me get through one of the most difficult days of my life with as much ease as possible. I will be forever grateful for that.”
— Courtney
“I'm not sure why my reviews from almost a year ago are not on here but I had to rewrite. Although a very sad time for our family, it was a pleasure to work with Shawn and Chubenko funeral home. We used them twice. Once for my mother's original funeral in NJ and then for her transfer to PA. The services at the Chubenko funeral home in Port Reading were lovely, patient and professional. After that, a few months later we decided to change my mother's final resting place to PA. Shawn arranged everything for our family and made it possible for her transfer. He is such a wonderful, professional and empathetic person to work with. We were so pleased with every step and I highly recommend Chubenko Funeral Home. Thank you, The Ramirez family”
