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
“DeGusipe funeral home in St Petersburg was a great company to deal with. Aurora was so kind and helpful when it came to answering questions and finding out information for me. She handled each interaction with such care and made us feel like someone was there for us during our loss. I would recommend them to anyone needing their services.”

“The team at the location in St Petersburg is so friendly and professional. The communication was clear and services went perfect. It felt like they really cared about my friend who passed way. I hope I don’t need their services again but I highly recommend them if you find yourself in need of a funeral home.”
— Suzie Baumann
“I’d like to personally thank Aurora, Capry, & my husband Kohl Rachlin for taking the time out to help my sister’s & I to plan out our father’s cremation & Celebration of Life Service here this past Sunday (02/16/2025)! Everything went beautifully smooth even down to making the obituary that my sister Jasmine had made down to the trifold flyers, prayer cards & etc & for allowing my sister’s & I to set up the chapel for the service! But I’d like to give a special thanks to Todd DeGusipe for allowing us to have the honor of using the FH & for allowing my husband Kohl Rachlin take care of our father & to help work the service down to helping with setting the date for the cremation….This FH will FOREVER hold a cherished spot in my heart for a life time including the staff that helped make this happen…..I HIGHLY recommend this Funeral Home….❤️”
