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
“I cannot thank Sean and the staff at Zale Funeral Home enough for the kindness and compassion they showed our family. From the very beginning, they were patient, responsive, and supportive in every step of planning. It brought me so much comfort knowing that everything was handled with such care and respect. I am truly grateful. Thank you.”

“Zale Funeral home is the most squared away full service funeral home that I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. The person who assisted my family was Amanda Fenard. Amanda exudes compassion, as well as everyone employee of Zale. It’s not an easy task for anyone who loses a loved one to sit down the next day and try to put together the logistics of an entire funeral. Amanda was able to explain the entire process effectively while exhibiting possibly the most soothing voice in all of South Jersey. The kindness, compassion and patience of Zale was also well observed on the night of the viewing. It appeared as though everyone my mother had touched one way or another had made the journey to attend. Needless to say, this extended the night for all of the Zale employees assisting. my family and they all did so with a warm smile. Zale funeral home, went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you.”
— Charles Lewandowski
“Zale's Funeral Home provided an excellent service for my fathers funeral. Everything from the way my father was presented for the viewing, to the closing prayer at the cemetery, went off flawlessly. The staff is friendly and courteous. Sean Zale took the time to answer my questions and provided me with various options available for the service. I never felt rushed. He really took the time to get to know me a little with some small talk along the way. That helped put me at ease instead of just thinking about the heartache of my dad's passing. It's nice that the Zale family is still running the funeral home. I have gone to many services there over the years. They keep the 1st class tradition going that Eugene Zale started in the beginning.”
