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.

“Julie and Talia went above and beyond for our family during an incredibly difficult time. From the moment we walked in, they treated us with genuine compassion, respect, and care. Julie was incredibly kind and patient, guiding us through every detail with grace. Talia was thoughtful, organized, and made sure everything behind the scenes ran smoothly. The service they helped us create was beautiful, personal, and exactly what we needed to honor my husband. Their professionalism and warmth made all the difference. We are so grateful for them both and highly recommend this funeral home to anyone seeking support and sincerity when it matters most.”

“My daughter died unexpectedly about 5 years ago In Hamilton. The state was going to send her body to a funeral home up there. They were not friendly and out of sight with the price. I happened upon Tufts by accident and I’m so glad I did! It only took one call and by the time I got to the office, they already had my daughter in transit. They were not only kind and friendly but very helpful and caring! I have recommended them to several people and will continue to… thank you so much!”
