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
“Goldman Funeral Group took great care of funerals for both our Mom in 2025, and earlier our Dad in 2012. Iwrin and now Benjiman as well are always friendly, compassionate and professional in a time of sadness and coping. My family Highly recommends the Goldman team. Marc Cable, and extended family.”
— Marc Cable
“My dear mother passed unexpectedly, and I was referred to Goldman Funeral Group. From the moment Benjamin answered the phone to weeks after the actual funeral, I've been treated with such tenderness, compassion, and respect. It was a horrible time for me, but both Irwin and Benjamin were there every step of the way, making sure everything was taken care of for me, because I wasn't capable of doing it at that time. Irwin listened to my concerns about cost & needs, and they were so sensitive throughout the process. These 2 amazing men treated us like family- they helped me get through an impossible time. They planned, they talked, they listened, and they comforted me- together and separate, they were exactly what I needed and what I didnt know I needed! Aside from the beautiful job they did for the actual funeral, the Goldmans were just so incredibly lovely to work with. These men have the hugest hearts, and I will forever be grateful for everything they did for my family.”
— Alissa Klopp
“We are grateful for the compassionate and professional service Irwin and Benji Goldman provided from the moment I first called them after my father's death to the end of the funeral and outdoor memorial service we held. Benji's technical skills made it possible to do the memorial service exactly as we envisioned, with live music, a Zoom option, and speakers both at the event and piped in from far away. Benji responded to our many questions and concerns with rapidity, knowledge, and understanding. Irwin and Benji were a great team for us in a time of tremendous distress and need.”
