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 don’t know what the home was like in the past, but the service provided by November 2023 was unforgivable. Everything was great until the memorial service ended… then came the time to get the cremains. The body was supposed to be cremated the next day… but wasn’t, until 3 weeks later. In the meantime, about a dozen inquiries, both in person and over the phone were answered with lies, or no response at all. We were told “the crematory hasn’t sent them”, “they are downstairs”, “they were mistakenly sent to our Mt. Vernon location… I will have them delivered to you tomorrow”. This whole process went on for 3 months! We didn’t receive them until mid February! I would NEVER use or recommend this service again!”

“Two months before the death of my love one, I booked and paid for vacation airline tickets. I was scheduled to travel out of town on two airline carriers which had non-refundable tickets. Upon request, R. Steven LeGall Home for Funerals provided me with a letter that enabled me to get a total refund of my airline tickets. My thanks to the funeral home staff for your professionalism and treatment of my love one's friends and family during our time of grievance. In addition, thank you for your expedient response in regards to the creation of the letter upon request which again resulted in a total refund with no penalties attached. Sincerely....”

“The uncle of my dear friend passed away suddenly (may his soul Rest In Peace and Rise In Paradise) and I gave her the contact information for R. Steven Home for Funerals. He immediately took over and put my friend and her family at ease. He assured her that all would be taken care of, and it was. Every detail from A to Z. My friend and her family left there that day feeling at ease that their loved one was in capable hands. I would like to thank Mr. LeGall and his staff (especially Peter and Stanton) for all their help.”
