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
“The staff at Devito were all incredibly kind, thorough, and professional. There are several funeral homes to choose from in Watertown, and having no experience in this market - I looked to Google reviews to help me decide on a facility to handle my mom’s cremation. I am so happy I went with these fine people. Their guidance, services and communication were top notch. Thank you to everyone involved for your help during this very unpleasant time for our family.”
