Fulton-Theroux Funeral Service
13 Beckwith Ln, Old Lyme, CT, 06371
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
“Ordered flowers through this website. Did not deliver. Teleflora ignored request to deliver on day of funeral. Horrible service by Fulton Theroux for allowing a third party that could not follow through on a simple delivery. Now the family has no idea that I Ordered and Paid For flowers. Shameful non service by the funeral home and its incompetent associates. Tony Schillaci and Don Church”
— Don Church
“The people at Fulton-Theroux have been wonderful during a difficult time. Starting with my initial call with John White, and then Nick Fulton, who oversaw everything and finally Carolyn. All were extremely professional and pleasant, took care of everything and on schedule, with a smile. They even made recommendations beyond funeral arrangements, what to prepare for, etc. Thank you Nick and family. I would easily give you a 10/10 if Google allowed it.”
