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.

Both their professionalism and compassion made such a difference for our family.

“My dream wedding venue had always been O’Brien Funeral Home and thanks to Eric Granados, that dream became a reality! If you know me, you know I’ve never been one for the traditional path. I’ve always loved the beauty in the unexpected, and O’Brien’s has always held a special place in my heart. When we decided to have our ceremony there, Eric went above and beyond to make it everything I could have ever imagined. From the moment our guests arrived, surrounded by the soft sound of our favorite music and guided into the chapel for our ceremony, to the beautiful reception under the open sky, every detail was perfect. The O’Brien Home, with its timeless elegance and historic charm, created the most unforgettable setting for our day. Thank you, Eric, and the entire O’Brien family, for opening your doors and your hearts to us. You made our dream come true in the most magical way possible. ❤️ Melanie and Chris Beattie”
