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
“I cannot express my gratitude for choosing Edward J. Ryan and Son Funeral home for my mothers services. This was the first time I’ve had to do this and I was guided through the process with unending compassion and patience. Everyone we dealt with were kind and compassionate. I initially contacted another place and felt pressured to purchase additional products and services, not here. I sincerely hope to not need their services any time soon, but if it does happen I know who to trust.”
— Brandy St.clair
“We had such a lovely funeral with Edward J Ryan and Sons. Everything went perfectly smooth. Chad and Jill were so very helpful with everything related to our service. I would highly recommend using them if the unfortunate occasion comes about.”
— Jack Crawford
“Jillian and Chad are so compassionate and attentive. I have lost both of my sons, 6 years apart. They took care of both services and made our lives so much easier so we could just grieve. I highly recommend Ryan’s!!!”
