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
“Tom Olson and his staff were great. With care and empathy, they both helped me become more at ease during a difficult time. Explaining costs and available options as well as providing information that I was not aware of made the entire process smooth. He was very communicative every step of the way and patient with any questions that I had. I recommend his businesses (Olson & Parent Funeral Home as well as Cremation Care Rhode Island).”
