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
“I recently had to make arrangements for my mother at Dolan’s funeral home and I cannot express how grateful I am for their exceptional service. The staff was compassionate, respectful, and incredibly accommodating during such a challenging time. They guided us through the process with sensitivity, ensuring that our wishes were honored and that everything was handled with the utmost care. The facilities were warm and inviting, providing a comforting atmosphere for family and friends to gather. Andrew went above and beyond to address all of our concerns, answering questions with patience and understanding. I truly appreciate the professionalism and heartfelt support we received from everyone at Dolan’s funeral home. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services. Thank you for making this difficult time a little easier!!”

“Dennis, Michael, and Dolan team were exceptional during the entire process when my fiance's father had unexpectedly passed. We had never planned a funeral before and suddenly we had to plan one out in short notice -- also including our Buddhist traditions. We didn't even know where to start! Dennis and Dolan team provided such great help and knowledge in involving the funeral services, Buddhist monks, transportation, and the cremation every step of the way with such great diligence and care. They were extremely accommodating and patient, especially during our grieving and language barriers. One can only hope to never need to use another funeral service again, but I know we would be in great hands if we were to go back to Dolan. Thank you.”
— Michelle Lee

We are truly grateful for the dignity and kindness they showed our father and our family. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of cremation services.”
