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
“We will never be able to thank Cranston Funeral Home enough for the care they gave our family after the loss of our daughter, Emmelia. During a time when we did not know what to do or how to move forward, Jeremy guided us through every step with patience, compassion, and genuine care. He answered every call, text, and email. His willingness to honor all of our wishes and requests meant so much to our family. Jeremy and his staff went above and beyond in every way, helping carry our family through the most difficult time of our lives. The way that Jeremy cared for Emmelia and his attention to detail was more than we ever expected and helped us have a memory that means more to us than we can ever put into words. There are simply no words to fully express our gratitude to Jeremy for the kindness and compassion he showed our family. We truly believe the Lord places people in our lives when we need them most, and Jeremy was one of those blessings during our darkest days. Because of everyone's care at Cranston Funeral Home, our family and community were able to come together and honor Emmelia’s life with love, beauty, and grace — something we will carry in our hearts forever.
