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.
“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.

What Families Say
“When my beloved bulldog Beanie passed, I knew I wanted to do something very special to memorialize her. I remembered an episode of Shark Tank where I first saw Parting Stones and went to the website. The ordering process was very intuitive and though it was more expensive than I was anticipating, I splurged and I’m very happy that I did. I sent them her ashes and I received the stones in about 3 weeks. The packaging was beautiful when it arrived. The stones are smooth and perfect. I wanted to create an outdoor memorial garden for Beanie, and the stones are waterproof but i put the stones in a display case. My photo is attached. I learned on the website that they do human remains as well and I hope somebody puts me in a memorial garden someday….”

“In the heartbreak following the loss of a loved one it can be hard to know what to do. Choosing to memorialize your loved one in an enduring and loving way brings comfort even years later! Rather than using a cold, impersonal urn, Parting Stones are a quiet testament of the love and memories in a much more uplifting manner that can easily be displayed in or around your home. My Dad loves succulents so the garden in the entry is a beautiful display in his honor. The Parting Stones on the shelf watch over us in the living room and bring me comfort and peace.”

“I've been a avid supporter of Parting Stones for a long time, but never had the opportunity to personally use them until my mom passed. She was and active 96, even skiing at 91, until her body surrendered. We had and incredible wake with over a 100 people attending to share stories. Her casket was engraved with her name and an image of a mountain and a skier. The following day the mass was held at the same church where I was confirmed and got married. So, with a full visitation and a traditional service someone may be thinking, why did we choose Parting Stones? Well, my mom wanted to be cremated so some of her ashes could go back to Poland to be buried next to her mom. Cremating gave us time to pic the perfect gravesite near her home on Cape Cod. We had over 30 people at the grave side service many of whom could not make it to the wake. It was another celebration of her life with a champagne toast to send her off in style! Today, her Parting Stones are with every family member serving as a healing moment every time we hold it. I take her every where I go. I even take her on my sales calls. We plan to leave some at her favorite ski trails, the pond she swam across in the summers and close to a bench at her work where she dedicated over 45 years to scientific research. My message to everyone is that Parting stones do not have to be an alternative to a traditional wake and funeral, you can do it all! Parting Stones...Thank you for making us feel like she's still here with us! - Jarek Mlodizinski”
