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.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review I don’t even know where to begin, because no words can fully express the gratitude I have for Davis Funeral Home, especially Ruth DaSilvera on Cummins Highway in Mattapan. Ruth did not just provide a service she treated my family like her own family. My sister’s funeral took place on August 27, 2025, and Ruth supported me every step leading up to that day, with compassion that felt heaven-sent. From the moment my sister Rose Esthere Lacroix passed away in such a tragic and unexpected way, Ruth walked with me through every step with compassion, patience, and a heart full of sincerity. This was my first time ever having to arrange a funeral, and I was overwhelmed, broken, and lost. Ruth wasn’t only a funeral director she became a therapist, a counselor, a guide, and a true blessing. She understood the pain of our situation as if she had known my sister personally. She didn’t just do her job she cared. When I was trying everything I could to bring my mother and my sister’s son from Haiti to attend the funeral, Ruth worked with me without hesitation. She extended time, supported every request, and gave me every possible chance to reunite my family to say goodbye. She never rushed me, never pressured me, and never once made it about money. Her service was pure humanity, with a level of kindness you rarely find in any business today. I truly believe God places certain people in your path during the hardest moments of life, and Ruth was one of those people for us. Without her, my sister’s funeral would not have been possible. She stood with me through one of the most painful chapters of my life, and for that, I will always be grateful. Thank you, Ruth, from the deepest place in my heart. Thank you to Davis Funeral Home for having someone like her someone who shows the world that compassion still exists, and that real service is built on love and understanding. I pray God blesses Ruth and this funeral home abundantly. In times like these, people like her are rare, and I am forever thankful. Vincent Etienne”

“My family and I were totally disgusted at the way we were treated during our most vulnerable time… the bill is paid and my sister is buried with dignity. However my family has vowed to take our future business elsewhere . Shame on you !”

“I had the pleasure of working with Leila at Davis Funeral Home during a recent memorial service, and I cannot praise her enough. Leila was exceptionally responsive to emails, which made planning much smoother. Her patience and professionalism were outstanding, especially as we made numerous changes to our plans. She also assisted wonderfully with the setup, ensuring everything went seamlessly. Leila’s dedication made a challenging time stress-free and successful. Her commitment and empathy are truly commendable. I highly recommend Davis Funeral Home for anyone looking to send their loved one off properly. Their service is exemplary, and they truly understand the importance of care and respect during such critical times”
