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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 brother passed away at the Veteran hospital during the peak of the Covid19 pandemic. Besides dealing with the devastation of suddenly losing a love one, we were also struggling with the nightmarish impact of trying to get my brother cremated during a week that all Funeral Homes in NYC were so overwhelmed. My family is so grateful that Steve at the Gannon Funeral home decided to provide cremation services for my brother. Steve was very caring and professional. I was kept informed through the entire process. During that hectic time, Steve was able to adhere to the timeline he gave me and provide clear payment documentation. My family members were so impressed with the excellent service at Gannon Funeral Home that we will continue to do business with them. Dee June 11, 2020”

“Steven Baxter at Gannon Funeral Home is a thoughtful and compassionate individual. He was there for us for both my parents. My father passed away in April 2020 in the height of the pandemic. Steven was to only one to help us. And now Steven again was there to help us with my mother. Without a doubt, They took care of my parents with respect and great care. Thank you Steven!”

“The Gannon Funeral Home was recommended to me by a family member when my husband passed away. I found them to be extremely knowledgeable and accommodating . Steve arranged the transportation and cremation, obtained the death certificates and helped me plan a personalized memorial service with a terrific minister, Rev. David Lothrup. Everything went smoothly. On the following day, Steve personally helped me with the flowers that were received; giving some away to a church across the street and with “downsizing” another arrangement for me to bring home. They also let me keep my husband’s ashes on their premises while I worked out the logistics for their final resting place. All in all, they made doing the things that needed to be done much easier during a difficult time and I highly recommend them.”
