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
“We've had multiple generations of our family buried with Athy. Everything is beautifully done and thoughtfully arranged. Definitely would recommend.”
— Mike Kennedy
“Tony and his family handled both my parents arrangements. I believe Athy is either 5th or 6th generations in the business. They are extremely sensitive and accommodating. They listened and accurately worked through all our wishes. We were provided a good faith estimate of all costs. I recommend them without reservation.”
— Anne Edgington
“DO NOT GO HERE! Terrible service. The drivers are terrible as well. I saw them FLYING in the hurst- so disrespectful to the dead. Such a rude company, all they care about is money not the customer. This time is so stressful, don't add more stress by going here. They should NOT be in business!”
— Sarah Jones
