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
“Obriens is an amazing family owned and oriented funeral home that gave us comfort and support during the hardest moment of me and my family's lives losing my seven year old son Hunter wood. Marty and his family are God sends and beautiful people inside and out . They took care of my son like he was their own and his services and everything that came with it was perfectly done. 5 stars rating and review for this beautiful funeral home and family don't do enough justice. I'd like to give them unlimited amount of stars and definitely recommend them as a place to go for your loved ones as well.”

“Marty and TJ were very kind, compassionate, and supportive during a difficult time. They were willing to work with us and their contractor to design a custom made casket. They helped walk us through the process of the wake and funeral and what to expect. They took care of everything seamlessly. We could not ask for a better team. We highly recommend them!”
— Lisa Lou
“We were very impressed with the O’Brien Family Funeral Home. We entrusted them with my twin sister. The compassion & sincerity of this family, through this very difficult time was genuine. TJ guided us through our options & choices. It was a relief to be able to walk out feeling comfortable after going through all that is entailed. They made things easier for us. We all felt we were “home”. They are a family helping families during their darkest times. I would recommend no other.”
