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 used Merton Kay’s for our brother’s funeral services recently. Mark exceeded all of our expectations. He handled everything with knowledge and compassion. Mark went above and beyond for all of our needs in our time of grieving. I highly recommend his services.”
— Lisa Tondryk
“I found Mark Stephens and his staff at Merton H Kay's Funeral Home to be the most compassionate people you could ever come across. I arrived in Rochester, NY from Las Vegas to deal with my Uncle's sudden death. After getting the runaround and rude behavior from another funeral home, I turned to Mark Stephens at Merton Kays. From the moment I spoke with Mark all the way through the end of my Uncle's service, I received nothing but compassion, care and respect from Mark and his entire staff. They walked me through everything and made sure I fully understood all procedures. Mark went above and beyond his call of duty and it's clear his passion is making sure the grieving family members have no worries while planning services and gaining closure. I highly recommend Merton H Kays Funeral Home. Thank you Mark for everything!”
— Michele Kelly
