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
“I love supporting businesses that truly care about their customers, and Blossomshop is one of them. John and Nick went above and beyond throughout my experience. When I accidentally selected the wrong basket, he personally reached out to double check the order before sending it out. When the delivery was unfortunately stolen, Nick immediately stepped in and sent a fresh set of flowers to the recipient. That kind of thoughtfulness and accountability is rare these days. It is clear this is a business that genuinely cares about people, not just transactions. If you are looking for a florist that stands behind their service and treats customers with real kindness, I highly recommend Blossomshop. 🌸”

“For my friend's birthday, Nick worked patiently with me over the phone (I live in MA) to create a stunning arrangement. Then, when I learned she would not be home, he held my order until I called with a definite date. Upon receiving her gift, my friend immediately texted, "Absolutely exquisite! Thank you so much!💕💕" We spoke later, again with her exclaiming how gorgeous her arrangement was. Thank YOU, Nick! You are charming, kind, professional and a superb arranger of top notch, beautiful, fresh blooms.”

“I loved the flowers as soon as I walked in. They are very professional amd they know their flowers! I was helped by a man named John and he gave me full instructions on how to take care of my beautiful Orchid I purchased there. This will be my spot in the future for any type of flowers. Just a update to my first review, I just went back and I'm getting the boquet for my fiance for our wedding. I absolutely would refer anyone to go here for any type of flowers. They are very professional and friendly. Thanks Nick and gals.”
