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
“I was completely dissatisfied with service that John J Fox and sons Funeral Home provided with their inhouse Flower service in their website. I ordered flower stright of their site, the specific order item (on their own website and pictured) was called "Beautiful in Blue" The specific item came with a blue vase(the color scheme of thje funeral attendees was blue(the deceased favorite color) The flowers arrived in a clear vase. Not even a call from the funeral home, All I got was a generic email stating I would be refunded $25.00 off of my nearkly $200.00 purchase. COMPLETELY UNSATISFIED!!!”

“In the past 10 years John J Fox and Sons have provided funerals for several of our family members and we could not be happier with the level of service and professionalism they provided. I see a couple of negative reviews on here saying that the staff wasn’t professional or no one picked up the phone, other nonsense and I have to say this was NOT my experience at all and we’ve been going to the funeral home for years with the same funeral director (Tom Roemmelt). The staff is extremely accommodating. For our most recent funeral, our beloved Auntie Ro loved playing the lottery. And we mentioned we wanted to have some sort of floral arrangement that would somehow honor that. Tom says “let me see what I can do.” He calls up the florist, explains to them the situation, and a few seconds later he hangs up and looks at me and my wife and says “It’s done.” And sure enough, the arrangement came out BEAUTIFULLY, and everyone who came to the service loved it. And it provided quite a few smiles on such a dark and sad day. Also our beloved Auntie Ro was 95, and Janitza Soto made her look absolutely wonderful. They dyed her hair *exactly* the way she liked it and did her makeup flawlessly. Rose would have loved it. They took every single instruction and request we gave them and executed it perfectly right down to the pink rosary we gave them to have Auntie Ro was holding in her hands. They never once rushed us. Or pressured us. And they were always at all times professional, courteous and respectful. Tom even gave me his personal cell number to contact him directly no matter what time of day or night. To which, last minute things came up and I had to text him at midnight at he responded IMMEDIATELY. Cannot say enough nice things about this funeral home and staff. Highly recommend working with them. AAAAAAAA+++++++”
