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.

What Families Say
“I can not say enough wonderful things about Castiglione Funeral Home. Planning a funeral is one of the most difficult things you will need to do once a loved one has passed, but Alisa and her team are the best. Alisa makes you feel like a member of the family, and lays all of the information and options out so all is easily understandable. If I had any questions, she was right there to answer them promptly and efficiently. This is now the 3rd funeral which Castiglione's has handled in my family, and the only one to whom we feel secure in handling our loved ones. On behalf of my family and I, I would like to thank you for making this process simplified and very well executed. Thank you for doing what you do, and doing it with love and care. All the best. LO”

“Joe Murray and his team did a phenomenal job with my brother's (Joseph P. Greco III) Memorial Service. From start to finish. Down to every last detail. What was a very difficult day became a beautiful tribute in laying my beloved brother to rest. Thank you Joe!”
— James Williamson
“Brendan McKeon is very sincere, professional and considerate. He seemed to genuinely sympathize with my loss and was very generous and kind to a fault. I will go further still, by saying every time I met with him, he was incredibly helpful; guiding me through the process with patience and insight. He is a very decent man. The service itself was beautiful and I am very grateful for all Brendan did for me to cushion the blow I felt at that time.”
