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 would like to give thanks to W.E Flanagan Funeral Home as they had taken care of 3 of my family members this year as they had taken their wings. Ms. Esther and staff made these transition very smooth. As hard as this time has been on my family, you walked us through the process and was very patient with us. My dad was driven to you from New York and you made sure that he was well take care of so that we could see him laid to rest in peace. The service was short and sweet as we had already been through a long serve. We want to say thank you for all you did.”

Ms. Esther & her staff was there for me, and truly helped me in my time of need & grief. My family has been using Flanagan Funeral Home for generations.”
