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 family has used Berube-Comeau Funeral Home for many many years and have attended services for friends and family also. I can't say enough how knowledgeable Fran is, professional and compassionate, along with his staff. During the difficult time when a loved one passes I've seen how important it is to entrust a goodbye into the right hands.”
— Liz Niven
“Berube-Comeau funeral home recently handled the services for our mother and did an outstanding job. They are very compassionate and caring and exceeded our expectations. Fran was extremely friendly and caring. The extra touches they provided made the service very personal and warm. The guests were very impressed and were commenting on how nice it was compared to other funerals that they have attended. I would highly recommend Berube-Comeau funeral home to anyone needing their services. We had used them for our father's service about five years ago and was impressed then but now they have outdid themselves. Thank you Fran and your staff for a memorable experience”
— Joseph Costello
“This was professionalism from start to finish. The care and services was more than I could have asked for. From the initial point of contact, Mr. Berube made us feel comfortable and reassured us that he and his staff would take care of everything. And they did. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and so closely associated with Haverhill, from its local religious community, to flower arrangements, to services from a memorial company that we did not have to worry about any of the details.. just take care of our own personal needs. Thanks to Berube-Comeau Funeral Home, our Family was taken care of throughout the entire course of our arrangements and the compassion from his staff was phenomenal.”
