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.

“5 years ago Christmas eve my Nana passed. She was such a strong independent woman. She was kind. She had a sharp wit, she was our rock. When she passed we were lost. As we gather years later there is a debt of gratitude I must pay. I accompanied my mom to Cafasso funeral home on what must have been the hardest day of her life. The kindness we were met with, the interest that Joe showed in my Nana. Who she was, what she liked. It made that moment so special. As we gathered for christmas this year, I realized everybody remembered her services, but nobody said thank you to the people who made it happen. Joe, thank you for all the Dandelions, her favorite, there were plenty and we noticed EVERYBODY noticed. Thank you for making a very tough time so very special. Phil Ciavardone”

“I recently entrusted Cafasso Funeral Home with the arrangements for my grandmother's funeral, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their exceptional service. From the moment we walked in, Mr. Fred treated us with incredible kindness and professionalism, making a difficult time a little more bearable. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and exceeded our expectations in every way. The facilities were warm and welcoming, providing a comforting environment for our family and friends to gather. I wholeheartedly recommend Cafasso Funeral Home to anyone in need of their services. Their compassionate approach and attention to detail truly made a difference during our time of loss.”

“Losing a loved one is never easy, and navigating the process while grieving is something no one wants to face—but it’s often necessary. The Cafasso family made every step of this difficult journey smoother and more bearable, especially as we faced the added challenge of bringing our loved one home from another state. They anticipated our needs before we could even express them, handling every detail from start to finish with exceptional care and precision. Their close relationship and sincere commitment to the church were truly heartwarming. At no point did we feel like a burden when we had questions or requests—they treated us with genuine compassion and patience. We are incredibly grateful to have had the Cafasso family by our side during one of the most challenging times in our lives. While we hope no one has to go through the pain of losing a loved one, we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need.”
