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
“There aren’t enough good things I can say about Anthony Funeral home. My grandmother was near and dear to all of our hearts so losing her was not easy for my family. Molly stepped right in to help us plan everything that my grandmother had wished for. She even made an entire slideshow of pictures showing what an amazing life my grandma had. She was there to answer any questions to help make everything as smooth as possible. Dave Anthony went above and beyond the day of the service. Making sure the video was set up on a tv that Molly had made, he took pictures of the flowers with their cards so we could remember who sent what, and so much more to make such a hard day run so smoothly. They even gave us blank thank you cards so that was one less thing we had to worry about. If you are looking for a funeral home that genuinely cares about you and your family, Anthony Funeral Homes is the right choice. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make such a hard time run so smoothly.”
— Caroline Dineen
“The Anthony Funeral Home staff was willing to talk me through the steps to set up advance arrangements when my wife was put into hospice. Samantha was friendly and courteous with her assistance in this. When my wife passed just 2 days later, I called and Samantha happened to be the on call person. She was comforting and professional with her explanation as to what would be the process would be. The service they setup was wonderful. Thank you all for your assistance.”
— Franklin Abbott
“Eric and everyone at Anthony Funeral were amazing. They made everything easier for us. They took care of my grandmother's funeral (also my grandfather's funeral 16 years prior). The organization, details, empathy, everything was top notch. Thank you for helping us make this difficult time a little easier to deal with. Huge bonus is that they are experts in Orthodox funerals: I didn't have to explain anything to Eric, he knew how Serbian Orthodox funerals were handled.”
