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
“Trident Society has been amazing! They were quick to respond when notified of my husband’s passing. I am impressed by their compassion, knowledge and going the extra mile to ensure all details were taken properly managed. Christopher was extremely helpful. I was SO thankful to have everything in place. It made it so easy on me during this difficult time. I highly recommend Trident to everyone.”
— Linda Moore
“We chose a cremation plan with Trident after hearing about it from a friend. The process was informative and easy. The price was reasonable and there were several options. We have peace of mind that when we die, all our son has to do is call the phone number on our membership card and immediate details will be handled. The peace of mind is priceless.”
— Mary Fisher
“This is the second time in the past several years I have had the unfortunate need for Trident Society’s services. Both times they have been compassionate, helpful, accommodating, and kind. All without any upselling or hidden charges, just straightforward, and upfront pricing. I was not able to take advantage of their pre-needs planning but can easily see the appeal. I am most grateful for Dejanai’s help, she made my choices as easy and uncomplicated as they could be. For all of that and more thank you!’”
