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.

“I just want to cry writing this text ! I worked with Leo and he had another gentleman with him day of service and I can't say it enough how blessed I am that I went to them . The struggles I had because I was doing a graveside service and first place wouldn't help me so I thought I could not use a funeral home that did not do the cremation on my father . I was extremely stressed and Leo truly said " Leah do not worry , we can do this no problem " and that is the point everything fell into place . Other things came up that had nothing to do with them ,it was the florist ( Ava's flowers HORRIBLE ) and Leo and his co workers jumped into action and took care of it when they did not have to ! DO NOT HESITATE TO USE SPADAFORA'S you will not regret it . Thank you so very much Leo and co worker I couldn't have done it without you guys . Leah Notaro”
