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
“Tim Cook and his staff at Cook Funeral Home in Torrington, Ct. are a class organization. He facilitated my mom's burial on February 27, 2026, and given that we presented to him with less than perfect conditions and circumstances, he and his crew pulled it off with aplomb. Thank you, Tim!”
— Chip Reid
“We recently worked with Tim Cook regarding my father's passing. He was very understanding, helpful and made a difficult process much easier. He and his staff went out of their way to be sensitive, and helpful to our needs, including transporting the remains to their final resting place out of state. I appreciated his professionalism, which made a difficult situation easier. Highly recommend working with Cook Funeral Home.”
— JJ Kwashnak
“I was left reeling after the sudden death of my husband - had no clue what to do or how to proceed. Tim Cook, and everyone else we dealt with at Cook Funeral Home as well, went out of their way to walk me through the steps I needed to take, help me sort out the many choices of how to proceed, and just listened with patience and compassion to all my word salad as I tried to process the decisions I needed to make. I can't say enough about the professionalism, integrity, and compassion my family and I experienced. Tim helped us walk through what was needed... and what wasn't! At such a vulnerable time in our lives, we were extremely thankful to know we were in good hands every step of the way.”
