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
“Fabulous maze of history, families, stunning memorials and an outstanding staff. A president us buried here. My friend took me for a tour in the snow. We saw deer and enjoyed the peace with strangers.”
— Hilary P
“My Grandmother's headstone was sinking and I asked to have it leveled again. I paid for the two headstones on that plot to be leveled while I was there. I tried to clean them but the soil was more encased around my Grandmother's. They leveled and the Albany Diocesan Cemeteries, Andrea Schneider | Family Service Associate sent me photos of the work completed. Was barely leveled so I requested a second try. She very kindly helped me with my request each time.”
— Deanna Kaebisch
“My husband and I had a very good experience. Lori Biskup was awesome to work with. She came across as a very caring person. She listened to our needs, offered suggestions and made everything easy for us. I would highly recommend working with Lori at St Agnes to anyone.”
— Ann Trudeau
