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
“Brandywine Valley Funeral Care did everything they said they would and at a price I could afford. I was my great grandfather’s only next of kin so I was very overwhelmed and they made it easy for me to plan his cremation. The chapel was close for both his Delaware & Pennsylvania friends to attend.”
— Matt Petrick
“Tried calling for a price for they're cremation packages and was left on hold for 20 minutes before they came back. Then, they acted like they were doing me a favor by taking my call. Was not impressed at all and was treated horribly. Should have went with my gut.”
— Anna Shafer
“I found Joe Yasik and the staff of this firm to be exceptionally helpful and thoughtful when I called on them for help. Joe especially, was beyond gracious and understanding!”
