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.

“During one of the most difficult times our family has ever faced, Bill and the entire team at the funeral home were nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first conversation, Bill showed genuine compassion, patience, and care. He guided us through every step with such calm reassurance, making an overwhelming and emotional process feel manageable and far less stressful. The entire staff was professional, kind, and attentive, always anticipating our needs and handling every detail with grace. The wake and funeral service were beautiful and truly honored my dad in a way that felt personal, respectful, and meaningful. It was clear how much thought and care went into every aspect of the service. We will always be grateful for how Bill and his team supported our family during this time. Their compassion and dedication made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for better people to help us say goodbye to someone we loved so deeply.”

“Bill Moore, was my point person at O'brien's, he was the best person to deal with, for my wife, of 41 years, myself, my daughter, my seconddaughter, and sister in law went to meet with him, was very helpful, and sincere, took care of us, and didn't push or anything suggested to us and we made the decision. The day of the wake bill, and the other gentleman were all super attentive to my whole family and guests, and were right there for us if we needed someone, The priest suggested by Bill was great and said all the right things. Don't hesitate to call O'brians, it was a very dark time for us all, And they helped turn the lights back on, Thanks Bill I'll never be able to thank you enough.”

“After my husband passed we met with John at the Brick location. He not only answered our many questions he made suggestions of items that we had not considered. I can't thank everyone at O'Briens enough for all their assistance. Everything at the viewing, church and at the cemetery went so well. Anything that I asked was done and done immediately. I have been reading the Grief suggestions online and find them very helpful. Thank you so much.”
