Driscoll Funeral Home and Cremation Service

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
“I can’t say enough about Driscoll Funeral Home. It’s a stunning home that is immaculately kept. Pat and his team took great care to help me plan a lovely tribute to mother and went above and beyond to accommodate my family. The team paid attention to even the smallest details so that my mother looked simply beautiful. It’s so important to choose the right place when you are in an emotional, vulnerable state of grief. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to help me during this difficult time.”
— CHRISTINE
“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Patrick Driscoll and his dedicated staff for their invaluable support and exceptional service. Pat's kindness, patience, and guidance were instrumental at every stage of the process. The professionalism and pleasant demeanor exhibited by his team were notable, and they consistently made themselves readily available. Patrick and his team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, making this difficult experience seamless. Having visited several funeral homes in the area, it became evident that Driscoll Funeral stood out and that their prices were remarkably competitive. With the support of Patrick Driscoll and his team we were able to give our mother (Miriam E. Horton) a beautiful and well deserved farewell and for that we thank them!”
— Benjamin Horton
“Pat and Phil were both professional and friendly throughout this whole process. They made such a difficult and emotional time an easy experience. They were caring and quick to respond to any questions we had. They did a beautiful job with all the services for my Mom, Carol Bellemore. I can’t recommend them enough. They were also nice enough to donate a memorial tree in honor of my Mom. Thank you Pat and Phil for everything. It was greatly appreciated.”
