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
“So Grateful”
— Mi V.
“Hope Chapel has a an amazing staff and has served the community for 30 years. The funeral home is warm and inviting and the staff treats you like family. They have three chapels one of which can be used for a reception space.”
— Robert French
“This was my first time having to make arrangements for an immediate family and loved one. Aimee was exceptional in helping my family and I plan for my mother's wake, funeral, and burial on short notice (03/28/2022). Our initial conversation of many, Aimee was able to explain and do an apples-to-apples comparison with what I was quoted from multiple funeral homes. It is important to note that I reside in the greater Boston area and I felt like I was present during each step of the process as if I was located in Maine with my entire family. Since my mother passed away peacefully at MassGeneral, Aimee was able to effectively communicate with all parties involved and even coordinated the transportation of my mother over 100 miles well in advance for a Sunday temple service which preceded the wake, funeral, and burial services on Monday. I highly recommend Aimee and Hope Memorial Chapel!”
