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.

“Our experience dealing with Conte Funeral Homes in North Andover was exceptional in every way. Anthony was so helpful during the entire process of helping us with my husband's funeral to the point of even purchasing audio visual and sound equipment for the reception (the venue we chose for the reception did not have these things) to delivering the final death certificates to my home. He and his staff helped to make what was an incredibly difficult time so much easier.”
— Joan Welch
“Absolutely exceptional. Conte Funeral Home, under the compassionate leadership of Anthony Conte, exceeded every expectation during one of the most difficult times in our lives. From the moment we walked through their doors, we were met with warmth, professionalism, and sincere empathy. Anthony and his team treated my father with the utmost dignity and respect, handling every detail with care and thoughtfulness. They honored my mother’s life in a way that was both deeply respectful and profoundly comforting. Throughout the entire process, they supported our family with grace and patience, guiding us gently through each step and ensuring that we never felt rushed or alone. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine compassion brought us great comfort during an incredibly painful time. We are forever grateful to Anthony Conte and everyone at Conte Funeral Home for helping us celebrate our mother’s life with the love and honor she deserved. Their service was nothing short of extraordinary.”
