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.

“Michael Scarano provided our beloved father with a beautiful service. He was professional, extremely organized, helped us coordinate everything between two cities, in a very short period of time. He compassionately provided guidance when we weren’t sure what to do. The funeral home was clean, and very comfortable. The flowers they provided were beautiful. He made a very sad and difficult process, a respectful, peaceful and beautiful experience. Highly recommend working w Michael.”
