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 dad recently went home to Jesus. When it comes to a loved one passing, you’re in a whirlwind of emotion. Everything is out of whack. Jerry Bosak, and family, were right by our side. They walked my mother, sister, and I through with care, grace, and a healing touch. Jerry allowed us to grieve well. We are forever grateful for the love displayed during the process he and his team stepped us through. I am assuming you’re reading this review because someone close to you has passed. Firstly, take a breath. Seriously, breathe. Second, sip some water. You are going to make it through. Third, allow Bosak Funeral Home be the “family” to help you through it.”
— Nick Agneto
“On behalf of The Albert Family, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to Bosak Funeral Home and Jerry Bosak for the immaculate service they provided for our beloved father, Joseph C. Albert. From the very beginning, they treated us with compassion, respect, and genuine care. Jerry and his team walked with us through every step of the process and stayed by our side until the very end. The way Jerry and his team prepared our dad was truly beautiful — he looked so peaceful, and it brought great comfort to our hearts. Every detail was handled with love and dignity. We truly felt they cared for our father as if he were their own. We will forever be thankful for the grace, professionalism, and kindness they showed our family during such a difficult time. — The Albert Family”

“My mother in law unfortunately passed suddenly and Gerry and his whole staff made the whole process as painless as possible. Gerry took the time to make sure we understood the whole process and that we were taken care as best as he could given that it was a sudden death. It’s clear that Gerry cares about the mental health of the families he takes care of. I would highly recommend Gerry and Bosak Funeral Home for all of your end of life needs, what an incredibly dignified experience !”
