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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Sid, his family, and the workers at Carlucci-Golden-Desantis funeral home are just amazing and very special individuals. They are so caring and compassionate. Never in a million years did my husband and I, and our families think we would go through a certain hardship we went through. Through it all, Sid was there through the whole process and I do not know how to explain it, but we felt at peace. You would think how in the world could you feel at peace? Well, as I have stated above, this is a very special place with very special people. Still to this day Sid has been by my families side through other hardships. Sid is that secret angel that God has guided us to. We have been lucky enough to meet Sid and know him in our life. Thank you Sid and we are so blessed and thankful you have come into our life during the hardest time.”
