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.

What Families Say
“Nicos took care of my mother's funeral. The facility (the old General Harry Trexler home) is beautiful! Nicos did a great job with the planning, cards, flowers, casket choice, and really everything. Hats off to the Deacon who was wonderful. Nicos did good making the funeral work for a family that's half Catholic, and half Greek Orthodox. Everything from the Viewing to the Burial went as smooth as silk. He also worked with us to keep the cost manageable. I'm 100% happy I chose Nicos Elias (and his staff) to take care of mom's funeral!”
— Michael Kennedy
