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.

“My family has been using O'Neill funeral home for as long as as I can remember. Recently my Mom died may God bless her. John O'Neill handled all aspects of this difficult process. John gave my family a comprehensive set of our choices regarding every and every aspect of this sensitive process. I was very impressed with the dignity and professional non pressured approach. John was hands on involved in every aspect from meeting us at the door and having our cars parked. To making arrangements to have my parents grave stone etched. I just can't say enough to Thank John O'Neill and his professional team.”

“For generations, it has been a family tradition to call upon the funeral home at our time of need. Recently, our father passed away and John, Roberta, Ted, Kimberly and all of their supporting staff took care of us, and everything for dad's wake, Mass and out-of-state burial. We couldn't have been more pleased with everything at a difficult time. Professionalism, compassion, kindness, guidance and paying attention to details were stand-outs. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Paquette Family”

“It’s never easy to lose a loved one but when you lose your mother suddenly, it leaves a devastating hole in your heart. Trying to juggle grief and handling a funeral can be extremely difficult if you’re not in the right hands, but I can honestly say that I have nothing but admiration for O’Neill funeral home and every single one of their staff members. I’ve been to many funerals, and I’ve seen disasters happen which only added to my anxiety having to be in charge to make sure my mother is laid to rest how she would have wanted. From the second I met the staff at O’Neill until my mother was laid to rest, I received nothing but compassion, professionalism, patience, guidance, and complete support. I cannot thank the staff enough for the beautiful job they did, my mother looked so beautiful, and the setup was amazing. I will be planning my father’s departure through O’Neill when the time comes. Thank you endlessly for an amazing job, I will be recommending you to anyone looking to send their loved ones home with dignity and grace. RIP mom ❤️”
