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
“They had provided a joyful service for my mother after she passed, and everything was very beautiful. My mom would have loved her service and her make up was done wonderfully. I'm grateful for their services during such a difficult time.”
— Danielle Wever
“I would NOT suggest this place for a loved one! They seem hungry for money, yet they’re meeting w/ families in a dilapidated building. Their customer service lacks compassion which they should have when dealing w/ people’s deceased love ones. They presented my fathers body to my mother & siblings looking terrible. His nails were extremely dirty it looked as if they just took him from the hospital & let him sit til they dressed him (no wash) . I was very displeased with their service. Never AGAIN! From your review response we can tell how professional you are. Also, it was never about money for my loved one. The presentation of the body was DOWN RIGHT DISRESPECTFUL!! , & as far as the buildings go people can stop by & see for themselves. Trying to be respectful so I won’t post the inside but here’s a few pics of the outside.(someone probably knows the fire chief)”

“My husband’s cousin passed away, “Gladstone Scott,” hence my husband, one of many pastors in the family, was called to officiate the funeral. Not knowing Delaware or being familiar with the House of Wright Mortuary, I googled the establishment. I became concerned about the service our deceased loved one and the grieving family would have received based on some of the reviews I read. After leaving the funeral home today, I purposed in my heart to write a review. The premises were immaculate, and all their signage was clear. Upon arrival, they had an usher greet and guide us to the appropriate entrance. The ushers were very helpful and polite and treated us with great respect and empathy. I commend the House of Wright and its staff for the excellent service they provide to our family/community at such an integral time in one’s life. “Thank You!” Side Bar: Kudos to the organist, you did it! You put your heart into it! I had to take a pic! 🤣🤣”
