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
“Five years ago, my mom and I had the foresight to meet with Josh at Sansone’s Funeral Home to arrange a prepaid funeral plan. At the time, we didn’t realize just how much of a gift that decision would be. My mom thoughtfully selected every detail of her final arrangements and secured the funding to ensure everything would be taken care of. There are not enough words to express my deep gratitude—to my mother for her loving planning, and to Josh for his unwavering support and compassion throughout this journey. Her decisions gave me the clearest path forward when I needed it most, allowing me to honor her life in exactly the way she wanted. I believe she would be proud of the beautiful closure we were able to give her. Josh played such a meaningful role during this time. His kind and gentle demeanor, paired with his quiet strength, offered comfort and reassurance to me and my entire family. He guided us with grace and sensitivity, making an incredibly difficult experience much more bearable. Losing a loved one is never easy, but thanks to Josh and the team at Sansone’s—and the gift of a prepaid plan—I was able to focus on what truly mattered: celebrating my mom’s remarkable life. I will be forever grateful.”

“Sansone Funeral Home, is a wonderful location for a life changing event, the passing of a loved one. Josh and his associates are incredibly understanding and very supportive they assisted me in making decisions that at the time you don’t want to accept but have to be made. My heart was and spirit was broken at the loss of my amazing wife Jean. Josh helped me get through this crisis, he hung with me as he will with you, also moving forward if you have questions or need assistance on anything, emotionally as well. I would urge you to contact Sansone in the event that a situation occurs requiring their special attention! Thanks for all your help Ed Pezzullo”
