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
“My husband passed away in December. We had already pre planned everything and paid overtime. The visit for the final arrangements were very easy, I had my son and daughter with me. They were very impressed and seeing how easy it was for me. Decisions had already been made, so we had very little to worry about. The staff was around and only approached me if there was a question. They took care of making sure a priest was available since we choose to have everything done at there Hanover St location. Everything was done with care. I would recommend that everyone do this and make the final days less stressful for the family. The Phaneuf family was excellent to work with. I'm very happy we choose them many years ago.”

The care, understanding, professionalism, respect and unwavering support of the assigned Director Jennifer Faulkner and her colleagues Patrick, Christina, Elizabeth and the General Manager Aaron Spiritos was outstanding as they all went above and beyond to make certain that every detail involved in the process was met with high standards to honor my father’s memory.
