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
“Recently, when planning our mother’s funeral and burial, Kim at J.Bradley McGonigle Funeral Home was more helpful than we could have hoped. She was super knowledgeable when dealing with our insurance situations and thoroughly answered our questions. Kim has been very professional as well as extremely empathetic and compassionate. The staff at McGonigle helped us through each step with our mother and gave us a feeling of comfort in this awful time.”
— Heidi Clark
“5 stars are not enough to show my gratitude!! I will forever recommend Mcgonigle funeral home❤️! From pre-planning, until the time came for their services, Kimberly and Marty surpassed my expectations. They helped make a difficult time less much less daunting, their assistance was invaluable, handling everything with efficiency and grace. THANK YOU🙏”
— Lynn Keller
“When my mother recently passed away my family chose McGonigle's. The decision was very easy because a few years ago my father passed away and Marty and his staff did such a wonderful job for us. The entire experience from beginning to end for both of our funerals made a very difficult situation much easier for us. My wife recently lost her father and she was impressed with how much more emathy and professionalism Marty displayed than the gentleman that her family dealt with. Thank you.”
