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
“A million thanks to Joe for taking such good care of our mother Sadie. My finial memory of mother gives me peace. Joe placed a velvet pillow under her head and covered her with a lovely zip up material cover / leaving her beautiful face and neck showing Apone her exit from my home. Mother was returned to us first class and with dignity. It is a comfort to have had such excellent handling in our time of sorrow.”
— Terry West
“Our family has regularly worked with Bean Funeral Homes to support us as we say goodbye to our loved ones. We attended a beautiful service for my godmother last week and were very touched by the service. The staff were organized and helped us with parking, directions, and an overview of the schedule. Chairs were nicely spaced so that my family could sit safely together and feel comfortable attending an in-person event. The room was calming and clean. I like the layout of the Rockland location and how there are smaller seating areas to congregate in small groups and share with one another. After the graveside services, Carolina handed us each a flower from the casket arrangement which was a beautiful, thoughtful touch.”
— Kimberly Coleman
“Bean Funeral Home was wonderful to my family in our time of need. From the time they picked up my brother and throughout making all of the arrangements and the Funeral everyone was VERY Sensitive, respectful, compassionate and helpful. Marissa Faller helped us with the arrangements for both my brother and my mother (three years ago). She did an INCREDIBLE job, and went above and beyond helping us with all the details.”
