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.

“I can't recommend Nardone funeral home enough. They handled my father's funeral in 2021, and my grandmothers funeral last week. Both of them went through lengthy hospital stays before they passed away. They did a beautiful job with both of them, which was very important to my mother and our family. My father couldn't have a traditional wake due to the pandemic, but Carmine and Christine made sure my mother and my uncle were able to say goodbye to him for a few hours. They were together for 51 years, and I appreciate that more than I can explain.”

“I have always felt if someone does a good job it should be acknowledged. Well the Nardone Funeral Home surpassed good. They are exemplary. My loved one had a challenging and lengthy passing and I figured it would warrant a closed casket. Mr Nardone (Carmine) assured us that wouldn’t be necessary. He is a miracle worker. My family member looked so beautiful, no one would have realized the drawn out suffering she had experienced. Both Christine and Mr Nardone were professional, knowledgeable, sympathetic, considerate and comforting. I was most fortunate to have them to help provide my family member with the perfect farewell service. I will forever be grateful to them.”

“We don't know where to begin. Our widowed mother passed after a lengthy illness. We wanted the perfect send off for her. In preparation, we reached out to the Nardone Funeral Home. Christine promptly returned our call. She was lovely and provided us with advice and guidance. When we met with Christine and Carmine, they were professional, kind and compassionate. The funeral home itself is spacious, immaculate and beautiful. If you are anticipating the loss of a loved one or have lost a loved one and are in the Greater Boston area, there is no other funeral home to consider for your needs.”
