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.

What Families Say
“I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the compassion, patience, and professionalism you showed our family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. From the very first phone call, you were kind, soft-spoken, and willing to explain every step of the cremation process. This was the first death in our family, and we felt completely unprepared. I contacted many funeral homes in the area, but none took the time to walk me through the process the way you did. Your willingness to answer questions and provide clear guidance made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. From that initial conversation, to our first meeting, and finally to the pickup of the urn, you treated us with dignity and genuine care. You made us feel comforted and supported every step of the way, and that meant more to us than we can properly express. Thank you for helping our family navigate this experience with such grace and understanding. We are deeply grateful.”
— Claudine Morales
“We recently had services for my mother and my brother at this funeral home, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to John and Joe. They were both excellent — professional, caring, and truly compassionate. They took such good care of our family during a very difficult time and made sure every detail was handled with respect and kindness. Their courtesy and support meant so much to us. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for people who genuinely care. Thank you!”
— Lucy Guerriero
“My husband and I were fortunate to learn about Altman-Long. From the first point of contact, we were treated professionally and courteously. They were very respectful when meeting with us and through phone conversations. They did not treat us a just another customer but as a family member. They addressed the cremains as Miss—— and that meant so much to my husband and I. All three (John, Joe and Miss Gertrude) have a beautiful spirt and a soothing and calming voice. We picked up the cremains today and they gave us time to compose our selves before we left. Again, this meant a lot. These are the type of professionals you need when handling the final arrangements of a loved one. Thank you all for the level of care and respect shown.”
