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.

“We were originally using Parker Funeral Home’s services, but they have merged their funeral home over to Cuffe McGinn. We used Cuffe McGinn for my mother’s services, and were very grateful for the care and compassion shown throughout the entire process. The staff was professional, patient and genuinely kind during a very difficult time. They took the time to explain every step, answered all of our questions, and handled all the arrangements with dignity and respect. We especially appreciated Eric who went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. I would recommend Cuffe McGinn funeral home to anyone needing funeral services. They truly eased the burden on our family.”
