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.

“I had a wonderful experience with Manhattan Funeral Service. I called them on a Wednesday and was able to visit their location that same day to see it in person. The staff were easy to talk to, clearly explained the funeral costs and what was included, and were very understanding of our desire to host the wake as soon as possible. What stood out most to me was how empathetic and caring the staff were while my aunt was grieving the loss of her husband. They embraced and consoled her in a way that felt genuine and heartfelt. Other places we visited felt much more transactional — this warmth really stood out. The team also helped us coordinate flower arrangements and even connected us with a pastor for a prayer service. They were also budget-friendly, which was a huge help for our family. I would highly recommend Manhattan Funeral Service to anyone in need of funeral arrangements. They were honest, compassionate, and consistently responsive by phone and text. Thank you so much for helping our family during our time of need.”
