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
“We are deeply grateful to Piscataway Funeral Home for the compassionate, professional, and exceptional care they provided during our mom’s services. The entire experience was handled with dignity, respect, and genuine empathy. Kerri, in particular, was truly amazing. She carries a calming confidence that immediately put our family at ease during an incredibly emotional time. She guided us through every step with grace, patience, and kindness, making sure nothing was overlooked. Her attention to detail and steady presence ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on spending meaningful time with our mom and honoring her memory. Because of Kerri and the team at Piscataway Funeral Home, our mom’s final services were handled beautifully and with great care. We will always be thankful for the comfort and support they gave our family during such a difficult time.”

“We chose the Piscataway Funeral Home for my father’s services. Jack was completely professional, informative and empathetic from the first phone call to the day after when we picked up remaining items Jack met with myself and several family members to plan and listened to us closely while we told stories - this was evident in how personalized Dads obituary was. They were even able to coordinate the flower arrangements at that time which saved an additional step. My father was a police officer and a veteran and Jack coordinated all the ceremonial aspects and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We also have a rather large family and Jack kept all of us straight and made sure children and grandchildren were taken care of first and foremost. Piscataway Funeral Home made a very difficult time much easier for our family and all parts of the services went very smoothly.”
— Leslie Ann Celebre
“When our daughter passed away, we used the Piscataway Funeral Home for her services. Jack Cochrane, the Funeral Director, provided caring and professional assistance, making sure that everything went well. He was accomodating re: family requests and helped us to minimize costs. He made it a little easier to get through a difficult time. I strongly recommend using the Piscataway FH (and Jack C.) for funeral arrangements.”
