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
“I hope these people are still around when it is my time. Lost both parents in about 10 months. The staff at Waterbury are friendly and great to work with. Although, they did say they didn’t want to see us for a long time.”
— Michael Baldwin
“I can't express in words what John, Sandy, and the staff meant to us during this very difficult time. Thier professionalism, respect, and patience is unlike anything any way I had been treated ever. Highly recommend!”
— Bill Koontz
“In dealing with the loss of my brother unexpectedly Sandy was a Godsend! She was caring compassionate and went above and beyond to make the process easy along with having peace of mind my brother was in the care of a caring human . Thank you for not making me feel like a “consumer” as another funeral home called me but a grieving sister placing the care of my loved one in your hands ❤️”
