Hudson Funeral Home & Cremation

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.

“My experience with Hudson was good and made my loved ones passing something that was memorable and comforting. Shout out to Ray and Michelle and Tyler who were helpful, quick to respond to needs, and professional. Facilities are top class and convenient.”

“Incredible team of professionals who made this process possible for us. Ray, Cassidy, Mark and Kevin catered to our every need. They answered so many questions and went above and beyond in providing support with efficiency. I cannot thank them enough for making this transition manageable, as if we were the only family who had ever lost a loved one. Many thanks to the rest of the staff who I did not meet, also working to insure our mother was cared for. You are all earth angels.”
— Cathy Falzone
“Hudson Funeral Home is an outstanding corporation. My family suffered three losses in 2018, and they made us feel very comfortable and helped us through those difficult times. Being a family-owned business, they certainly make you feel like family!”
