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.

“On Oct 29th 2025 I came home to find my wife of 53 yrs had passed away unexpectedly. It was a shock as she had no health issues. I called the local 911 and the local EMS arrived. They confirmed my wife had passed away and gave me instructions to follow. I called A. Ripepi & Sons Funeral and they helped me through the process. They picked my wife (JoAnn) up shortly after. Being in a very emotional state I felt A. Ripepi & Sons took great care of me and my family walking us through the process. All the employees showed us loving care throughout the process. They even followed up with phone calls after the fact to offer support.”

“Tom at A. Ripepi & Sons was phenomenal. He was patient and ironed out the fine details for me as I was working on behalf of the deceased family. Tom made sure that all of my questions were answered. He also took care of the pallbearers needed for the service. The family was very happy with how the service turned out and let me know that the service was beautiful. Thank you again Tom and the team over at A. Ripepi & Sons!”

“The staff was very helpful and compassionate when planning my mother’s funeral arrangements. We were able to supply them with photo frames and memento’s which they were able to beautifully display on their own which was helpful and was something we didn’t have to do and saved us time to focus on other things to prepare. We received many compliments on the displays and showing. We are grateful and want thank the staff again for making this a peaceful and beautiful celebration of our loved one.”
