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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Disappointed in their services all around, especially the day of the funeral. And, to see that my family member was much darker than their actual photo, was enough for me. I’d rather pay more for top notch service and better communication.”
— April J
“Not professional at all. Staff is NO help when George is not around. My brother was laid to rest on the 22nd of June and we are STILL waiting for the death certificates which have been in their Possession for about 2 weeks now, daughter of deceased has driven from Attleboro to Mattapan to pick them up, only to be told some ridiculous story as to why the staff members were unable to give them to her. As many as 5 calls have been made to the establishment, messages left with the answering service only to receive NO PHONE CALLS BACK.. SO, how long is too long to wait for a death certificate paid for almost 2 months ago.. NO PROFESSIONSLISM AT ALL, except of course when your $$$$$..SMDH🤷🏿♀️”

“The worst of the worst....these people buried my son in the wrong plot and refused to pay for him to be put in the correct plot...because my son was buried in the wrong plot by George lopes, his headstone was not pit on the plot where he was buried and George lopes refused to pay to correct that error also..my 16 year old son was exhumed because of the funeral home mistake. Not once has the funeral.home apologized for their unforgivable mistake nor the nightmare that they have put my family through at the worst time on our lives.”
