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
“Special thanks to Al and Bill. Your kindness will always be remembered. My Brother was having a hard time with the loss of his wife and the understanding and caring from you and your staff was something I've never seen before from a Funeral Home. Also, the attention that my mom received getting in and out of the Church in a wheelchair was really appreciated. I highly recommend your Funeral home to anyone that is in the need of one. Thank you again for the care and understanding.”

“In such a moment of grief, Di Chiara Funeral Home, was beyond sympathetic and accommodating. This process is never easy, and you never think of how choosing the “right” place to guide you makes a difference, and it truly does. From the beginning process, Albert and staff arrived to our home to remove my father. We are grateful for the compassion showed and for their respectfulness towards my father and family. Billy assisted my family with the choosing of certain arrangements and his attention to detail and patience was impeccable. During the funeral services, Amber moved with grace as she was extremely kind and considerate. She made sure that the services ran smoothly and organized. The slideshow was a special touch, as we were able to provide memorable pictures to share with loved ones. Needless to say from beginning to end, the comfort, professionalism and respect given by Di Chiara Funeral Home was remarkable. My family and I can truly say that they went above and beyond and we are eternally grateful.”
