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.

“Before anything, I want to THANK from the bottom of my heart, Director Tom Lewis James for ALL the Effort, Caring, and Professionalism he offered from the beginning until the very end of the total service. He and the service were "over the top"! Regretfully my husband died in Cape Coral, Florida during the devastating hurricane Milton. It was my husband's wish to be buried next to his mother, father and brother in Fall River. Given the untimely death and extreme hurricane issues, Tom came through as my family and I never expected...EXCELLENT...!! Given the difficulty of weather and lack of air transportation etc etc, Tom was able to reassure and succeed in overcoming every obstacle encountered and there were many! During the funeral services, church service and burial, Tom made sure EVERY detail was addressed and completed. He always went above and beyond. Again, this was an extreme and highly unusual funeral service situation and handled most completely and professionally. WELL DONE Tom James and Suncoast Boyko Funeral Home!”
— Mary Souza
“I can’t say enough good about South Coast Funeral Home. Tom was awesome to work with. He was so kind, compassionate and helpful. We had to find the family plot which took some time. Tom was so patient. Never any pressure and whatever the family wanted, he was very accommodating. Losing a loved one is difficult but having someone at your side helping with difficult decisions makes it so much easier. South Coast was there for me. I would give them 10 stars if I could.”
