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
“My family has always used Bond Funeral Home for the passing of loved ones. I have been involved with six funerals there, the most recent in December. It was more involved because the funeral was held in the National Veterans Cemetery in Saratoga. Bond Funeral made all the arrangements for us and kept us well informed. They were very professional yet accommodating. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else and when I pass away, my family will utilize Bond Funeral Home for me as well💕”
— Margaret Brown
“bond Funeral Home is a family run funeral home located centrally on the Rotterdam side of Schenectady. As a Pastor I have experienced Bond from both the Professional side and as a guest of friends who have used Bond for their loved ones. Always I have found the staff to be professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The Funeral Home is located just a few minutes off Route I 890 and so is easily accessible. The Funeral Home is in a large mansion style building on park like grounds and has two parking lots with ample parking for large numbers of guests. I highly recommend Bond Funeral Home.”
— Pastor John Murray
“My family and I would like to thank Bond Funeral Home for their caring, support, and quality service for my mother's funeral. They helped us navigate this unfamiliar territory and walked us through step by step. They are very professional, sympathetic, and understanding of our grief, and made us feel comfortable and cared after throughout the process. 10 Stars. Thank you.”
