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
“Donohue Funeral Home in West Chester was very professional and responsive to me and my children in all aspects of the funeral arrangements for my late husband. Our personal requests were provided without hesitation. Donohue was very sensitive to our grief which I greatly appreciated.”

“Great experience working with Jim Huf all around -- from beginning to end along with changing my mind on a casket. He was super patient with me. My family has used Donohue for years and years and we plan to continue doing so.”
— Lynn Kolpak
“I cannot recommend Donohue Funeral Home in West Chester, and especially John Lynch, highly enough. Over the past few years, I have turned to them for my parents’ funerals, and most recently, my mother-in-law’s. Each and every time, I felt completely supported and cared for in ways that are hard to put into words. John and the entire team have a remarkable gift: they are there when you need them, they step back when you need space, and — perhaps most incredibly — even when you don’t realize you need something, they do, and they take care of it without you having to ask. Their service is truly extraordinary — seamless, thoughtful, and beautifully organized from start to finish. John even went above and beyond by coming to our home to personally walk through final arrangements with my mother-in-law. His consistent, compassionate care made all the difference during such a hard time. We were so grateful to have John with us every step of the way — from the beginning, through the middle, and all the way to the end. In some of the most difficult moments of our lives, Donohue provided comfort, peace, organization, and dignity. We trusted them completely, and they never let us down. Thank you, John, and the entire Donohue team, for everything.”
