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.

“I recently met with Mr. Marty McGonigle regarding the funeral planning for my spouse. Marty had an excellent disposition and handled every aspect of the funeral planning for me. Marty was very knowledgeable and sincere regarding the funeral planning. He did not attempt to "push " any unnecessary accessories for profit and was very helpful during a very traumatic time. Marty was able to literally do everything for me, from writing the obituary, picking out flowers, selecting a cemetery plot, arranging times and assistance with the after service dinner. Marty also had a very helpful checklist, for family members of the deceased party, that explained when the death certificate would be required for financial institutions and other valuable information. I was lost in a fog during our meeting due to my recent loss and Marty literally removed such a weight off my shoulders that I was able to go through the grieving process without having to worry about the funeral planning part. Mcgonigles went above and beyond for my family and I really appreciate it. FOLLOWUP 02/21/26: After a very difficult 2 days with the calling hours and funeral service, Marty McGonigle and the whole McGonigle staff continued to be there for my family. Marty was available for any follow-up questions or concerns that I had. I really appreciate all of the assistance that Marty and the whole McGonigle staff provided my family during a very difficult time. Im very grateful and appreciative.”

“I am so so thankful and pleased for the care my father received through McGonigle. Their guidance, expertise, and compassion shined a light on such a difficult and painful loss. Ben, the funeral director, was amazing and I am forever grateful for his generosity and support to help me ensure I laid my father to rest peacefully. From the bottom of my heart thank you, and I would recommend anyone to place their loved one in their trust and care.”

“Marty McGonigle and the entire staff at J Bradley McGonigle Funeral Home are first class. After losing our father they made sure that everything was taken care of in every way. Every request we made to make sure we honored our father in the best way was completed. Our family is so appreciative of how professional they were and how responsive they were to our requests. They did all of the heavy lifting and took care of every minute detail so our family didn't have to stress over the funeral. I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Marty even though we had just lost our father. The respect he gave our family will never be forgotten”
