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
“Amanda and her staff were professional, compassionate and caring. I had talked to other funeral directors in the area, but Amanda made me feel the most comfortable. I knew my wife would be taken care of, while I wasn't there to protect her. I highly recommend Amanda and her staff to handle your needs.”
— Dean Oliveri
“Paul and Amanda Gendron are amazing people. They are sincere and compassionate. I have worked with them professionally as a member of Sarasota County Fire Department Honor Guard, and when I had a personal need in the passing of my brother. I cannot say enough about the kind and caring nature of this family. They will go out of their way to assist you and provide you with the direction needed. It is comforting to know that they are there when you need them. THANK YOU GENDRON FAMILY!”
— Curt Tellbuescher
“Amanda in Fort Myers and Amanda in Sarasota were both quick to respond to inquiries and very compassionate given the circumstances. The staff at the Sarasota location also took good care of our loved one.”
