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 are deeply grateful for the exceptional care and professionalism provided by the funeral director; and chauffeur during my brother’s service. From start to finish, their warmth, attentiveness, and attention to every detail were extraordinary. My brother’s grooming and presentation were impeccable—truly 10/10—and it was clear that they treated him with the utmost respect and dignity. They went above and beyond to support our family, making a very difficult time more manageable. We cannot thank them enough for their compassion and excellence. Their dedication will always be remembered and appreciated. Thank you for hugging our mother before exiting the Funeral home. - Rolando Pagan, is resting in heaven.”

— Anthony Ianniello
“Had my brother services here 10 months ago. Wasn’t very happy with the services. Felt very rushed during his funeral. Who rushes a family during the last moment they had with their loved one. Spelt the services cards wrong. Also get a new vehicle, it’s embarrassing to drive your loved one to their resting place in such a piece of junk hurst with a broken windshield.”
— Ashley Peters
