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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Nutmeg Society provided outstanding and thoughtful service. When my sister died one hour after midnight on New Year's Day, Nutmeg responded to our call with alacrity that night. All arrangements were made with efficiency and concern for the family grief. When the Town Clerk was dilatory in providing the Death Certificate, Nutmeg caused insurance the day we asked for their help. And the value for service is extraordinary.”

“Matt and Tom and their entire team were supportive and kind during a very sad time. They were compassionate and easy to work with from beginning to end. They were always helpful and available, which made a difficult process much easier. I highly recommend them.”
— Karen Kremer
“The staff at Nutmeg Cremation Society are very professional, and sensitive. My experience, from the first phone call, a few months ahead of my family member’s passing, to the moment that I received the remains, went smoothly. They demonstrated a caring and sensitive demeanor through it all. I’m very grateful to them.”
