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.

“The people at Bucklad-Merlino were thoughtful, genuinely supportive, and very helpful in getting through the steps not only associated with the service and internment of my father… but also in answering our many questions and with input on the steps that followed. They provided a peaceful venue for the service, and made sure the memorabilia we provided was well placed within the space. They also took care of coordinating with the cemetery and military for the grave-side service… all of which made it possible for us to have and experience a service that was meaningful and respectfully honoring of my father and his memory. Many thanks and heartfelt appreciation for them in providing the support and guidance we needed. The experience they provided made it possible for us to grieve, remember, and celebrate, and share the life of my father with family and acquaintances.”
