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.

“Death is never easy and it will be one of the most emotional moments any individual will have to deal with at some point in their lives. Many things become a blur during the passing of a loved one, with so much to take into consideration, but our family will always remember the amazing staff at Alderson-Ford in Waterbury. The support and compassion, even following up weeks later to check in on how we were doing, helped our grieving process.
