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
“If you or your loved ones pays the premium price to be in a "patio" area or mausoleum you get a quarter of the visitation rights. In other words, if your loved ones are in the ground on ANY special holidays, you can visit them. If you're loved ones are in any of the premium areas you CANNOT..they place illogical restrictions on the ability to visit your loved ones on any of the holidays. Infuriating.”
— Shawn
“I'm writing this review, not from the viewpoint of having attended a funeral or having a loved one buried there. My viewpoint is non-emotional and one of a volunteer. I find the grounds well maintained and the staff is nothing short of wonderful. I've made Gate of Heaven cemetery the primary place of my volunteer work.”
— Jason Roth
“Well maintained, the staff at the office are very knowledgeable and kind. They helped us find the location of family members who were buried there in different locations by providing us with a map and explaining how to drive to the location. They answered our questions as to burial information on existing plots.”
