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.

“Our family experienced the loss of two sisters in two weeks. We were all on auto pilot for a great amount of that time-doing what had to be done, one day at a time. Almost in slow motion. What we didn’t have to worry about were the services provided by Kenny Pellerin and his team at Evangeline Funeral Home in New Iberia. They went above and beyond, helping us make plans for one of the worst times in our lives. We did not have to worry about any detail no matter how small. They tended to everything and all of our family with love, kindness and compassion. Our love and gratitude goes out to each and every one of them! Thank you and God bless.”
— Linda Roberts
“We just lost my Mother Jean on March 3rd. I don’t care what people say, nothing can prepare you to lose your Mother. I see why my brother wanted us to plan ahead I just wasn’t able to handle it ahead of time with all that was happening. Kenneth Pellerin and the wonderful staff at Evangeline Funeral Home took control where we fell short. Kenny was so polite and understanding while he made us feel like family. We desperately needed that bc funerals are hard enough. His experience showed up at a most difficult time. He didn’t miss a beat with details, patience or feelings. The staff was gracious and so sweet to us too. As far as we are concerned everything was perfect for wake and funeral day. I would highly recommend Evangeline Funeral Home for funerals or memorial services. God Bless Kenneth Pellerin, family and staff.”
