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 recently experienced the heartbreaking loss of both of his parents within just five days of each other, and Wm. Sullivan & Son provided the care, professionalism, and compassion we desperately needed during that time. From the very beginning, they handled every detail with grace. They coordinated the pickup from the assisted living facility seamlessly, took care of all communication and paperwork with the coroner’s office, and arranged the cremation process with clarity and respect. I also want to express our sincere appreciation to Sherry and Cassandra, who were truly wonderful to work with. Their kindness, patience, and guidance made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. They even went above and beyond by creating smaller, easy-to-scan copies of the death certificates — something we didn’t even know to ask for, but which made handling affairs so much easier. Losing two parents so close together was devastating, but the team at Wm. Sullivan & Son supported us with compassion and professionalism every step of the way. We are deeply grateful and highly recommend their services to any family in need.”

— Brad Tamm
