“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.

“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
