Walter J Manning Funeral Home

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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Manning Funeral Home did a wonderful job with my mother. Their service is red carpet, white glove, impeccable! They truly helped my dad when preparing for his wife’s Home going, making the process smooth and as painless as possible. Mitch, and his staff were amazing. The limousine driver (sadly I cannot remember his name) was attentive, professional, and respectful. He listened with compassion as my dad talked about his wife during the grieving process. My family is forever thankful for their service. Manning Funeral Home has remained professional, and classy over the years. It is truly one of the last places on Earth that, I believe, you will always receive quality service. The HEMBRICK’s”
