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 Volk Leber Funeral Home in Teaneck provides first class service! I recently used them for my father's funeral and it was executed flawlessly, and with care and compassion. Kurt and team (Klis and Cosmos) were fantastic to work with. They were understanding, flexible and dedicated to making my father’s funeral truly special. Kurt also arranged for an Honor Guard in recognition of my father’s service in the Navy. I also used Volk Leber for my mother's funeral in 2019 and was impressed then, and still am 5 years later.”
— Lawrence Kominiak
“Kurt Larsen, funeral director, was very professional, helpful, and compassionate during our time of sorrow. He and his team (including Cantor Ellen) saw to every detail. Not one thing was amiss. I was very happy with the service, both at the funeral home and graveside. My father was presented for viewing beautifully. His clothing was perfect, including a perfectly tied necktie, and he was given a good hair and beard trim. It could not have gone better. My family and I are very grateful for a lovely send-off for my father.”
— Jeannie Shaw
