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
“Our recent experience in November 2025 with the Lacerenza Macari Funeral Home was outstanding. As we were completely lost with the sudden passing of our beloved Rama, the family did not know where to start, Jerry met us on a Sunday and explained to us the step by step process. He literally came down with a directory of all countries and the regulations required for overseas shipping as they have the technical know-how. Though the burial was in Stamford, his staff and Jerry himself were super efficient, organized us on what we needed to do, when and how to do it giving us space to grieve. That eased the pain a little, the final journey to the cemetery was made easy and around it. In my opinion they are truly professional. Thank you so much Jerry”

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and support we received from Jerry Jr. and the entire team at Lacerenza Macari Funeral Home during my mother’s wake and funeral. In a time filled with grief and heartache, they provided a beautiful and comforting experience that truly honored her memory. From the very beginning, Jerry Jr. was compassionate, attentive, and understanding. He guided us through every step of the planning process, taking care of all the details with such professionalism and grace. Everything went smoothly, allowing our family to focus on celebrating my mother’s life rather than worrying about logistics. The atmosphere was serene and beautiful, reflecting the love and warmth my mother brought to our lives. It was evident that the team genuinely cares about the families they serve. Thank you, Jerry Jr. and Lacerenza Macari Funeral Home, for making such a difficult time a little easier. Your kindness and dedication will never be forgotten.”
