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.

“Sullivan took care of my loved one (and me) perfectly through the whole process. At every step my loved one was treated respectfully and I was kept informed. The directors were really helpful getting the slide show set up perfectly. The rooms for the visitation and service were elegant and comfortable. At a time of extreme difficulty for me, Sullivan made it easy.”

“After the passing of my mother on I went through Wm. Sullivan & Son Funeral Directors. From start to finish, the team was nothing short of amazing. Their guidance and support through every step of the process made an incredibly difficult time a little easier to manage. They were patient, compassionate, and truly took the time to understand our needs, offering thoughtful advice without ever being pushy. Their professionalism and personal attention gave us peace of mind during a very emotional time. Whether you're planning for burial or cremation services, I highly recommend them. They provided not only excellent service but also a sense of comfort and reassurance when we needed it most. Thank you to everyone at Wm. Sullivan & Son for your outstanding care.”

“From the 1st phone call, I knew that Sullivan & Son would be the right choice for our family. We met with Allison, who walked with us step-by-step through our decision making. She was compassionate, patient, extremely professional, and just exactly who we needed. Allison was with us from the first meeting to our final good-bye. She was a true blessing to our family. Thank you, Allison, and Sullivan & Son. I would highly recommend.”
