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.

“Michael and his staff were so kind and helpful in guiding us through the process after losing our loved one. We called a few mortuaries but knew from the first phone call with Michael, Ferrara Colonial was the best choice. Michael's sweet, caring nature really gave me peace of heart. So thankful for all their help in our time of need. Highly recommend!”
— Tanja
“Greg was an absolute Blessing from God. He was so caring and compassionate; so helpful. He has such a kind way about him. He always gave me as much time as I needed and he was always there for me to answer any questions. He explained everything so clearly and wonderfully. The mortuary itself is very clean and very peaceful. I appreciated the fact that they had many options, including the very simple option that I needed. I definitely made the right choice with this place. Thank you again, Greg for everything! God bless you.”
