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.
If your loved one had a life insurance policy, the benefit can cover these costs — and we'll file the claim and handle the carrier for you, even without the policy number. $0 upfront, and nothing if it doesn't pay out.
“I would recommend going in a taking a look around. It is a very pretty church!”

“I visited New Haven in Nov 2024 with my family. I had the pleasure to visit this beautiful sanctuary. It’s under the Dominican Friar’s order. It’s beautiful and gives a sense of peace and awe. I spent the next few days coming here alone to enjoy the solitude of praying. It’s worth visiting.”
— Kong Fei Tan
“A beautiful church and the resting place of Blessed Michael McGivney. Attended two beautiful daily Masses at the church while I was in town.”
