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
“My family has used the Allwood Funeral Home for many, many years. I am forever thankful for the professionalism, care and support shown by Scott and his family and for always going above and beyond to guide me through some very difficult days. To know that my loved ones were in caring hands was a great comfort to me and my entire family. Thank you Porter family for all that you do.”
— Lynn Marakovitz
“The Porter family handled my mother's arrangements with compassion and great care. My mother's cancer treatments left her emaciated and unrecognizable, but amazingly, Scott was able to return her back to the beauty she was before her illness. We are forever grateful to Scott, the Porter family and the Allwood Funeral Home team for their compassion, professionalism and care.”
— Jessica Walker
“The Porter family has been a wonderful family to work with. My family has used their services many times as well as many of our fellow church members in Clifton. They have always treated everyone with respect and dignity and make sure that the family is comfortable. I can not say enough good about them and their services!”
— Judy Verblaauw
