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 attended a burial for which John and his son Craig were hired to provide services, and I was shocked by their behavior toward the grieving family. Their lack of professionalism and empathy was deeply unsettling. Based on what I saw, the low rating and negative reviews are well deserved.”
— Caragh Poh
“⭐️ 1 Star I am writing this so other families can avoid the experience I had with Ashley’s Funeral Home in Middleborough, MA. I felt the staff spoke negatively about my loved one, which was completely undeserved and incredibly hurtful especially since they did not know her. At the cemetery, they came off as antagonistic and hurried unaccommodating at a time when compassion was needed most. Anyone considering this funeral home should look into other options , so make sure you know exactly who you’re dealing with. Families deserve respect, honesty, and compassion during a difficult time, and we did not feel that here.”
— Ryan Murphy
“This owner is a total jerk!! I would go to any of the funeral home that he's not affiliated with! When my father passed in the military showed up he kept talking over the military as they were doing a service in the 21 gun salute total disrespect for any veterans! Also try to insinuate that the military was the issue knowing that the family wanted this he continued to speak over them. I strongly recommend going out to it.”
— Michael Jackson
