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
“Trident Crematory provided compassionate, professional, and dignified service during a very difficult time. From the first interaction, the staff was kind, patient, and respectful, making sure every step of the process was clearly explained. They handled everything with care and sensitivity, which brought a great deal of comfort to our family. The overall experience reflected genuine professionalism and empathy. I’m truly grateful for the support they provided and would highly recommend Trident Crematory to anyone in need of caring and reliable services.”
— Bertha Taylor
“1. I suggest you consider a pre-need arrangement. If not with Neptune, with some reliable organization. It really made a difference in handling things. Having them help me made a huge difference, and it helped that they were all very nice and considerate and did not try to upsell me on anything. Just what I had already paid for. All I had to do was arrange for the memorial she deserved w/o extra burdens. 2. They sent an email each week for 12 weeks with very meaningful and helpful tips to guide you through the grieving process. No unrealistic expectations just common sense, delivered in a sensitive way. I shared some content with an expert in the field with positive feedback. I will never stop missing and grieving for my wife of 38 years but this helped me to rejoin life and move forward with her always in my heart.”
— Howard Myers
“Unlike so many business and products, the Trident Society truly delivers what it promises. I am so grateful to my mother for signing up for with them. While her passing was painful, this aspect was not. Stephen Crawford was particularly helpful, patient, and kind. And lastly, in this day and age, I was *astonished* that there were no hidden fees or unexpected costs of any kind. I would highly recommend the Trident Society.”
