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
“Our extended family has been using Colligan Funeral Home for many years. We used them for dad in 2020 when COVID was happening and we had a very limited funeral for him due to all of the restrictions. It was still very nice and Colligan was so helpful.When mom passed on October 12th, of course Colligan is who I called (and knew I would be). This was a totally different experience-in the most positive, beautiful way. Jolene came to my house and met with the family. Everything for the visitation/funeral was planned because of her preparedness. Nothing was missed. She kept in touch with me even after that meeting-communication was easy and she always responded no matter what the time was for questions , etc. Moms visitation was at the Michael J. Colligan Lodge. It was the most beautiful setting and mom looked beautiful. Jolene did an exceptional job. Mom was in great hands. Other family members asked me about the process-and they will be setting up some pre planning. With gratitude-Lisa Tallarigo”

“Jolene is amazing to work with. She came to our home to discuss all details and she delivered 100%. We did not use a traditional funeral home, which was the best decision. It was very comfortable and allowed for a nice even flow for the evening. Our mom really looked great and at peace. At such a hard time in our lives, Jolene's guidance was a great comfort.”
— Dennis-Diana Howard
“Sadly, we lost a beautiful member of our family to breast cancer, Rachel Tenney. We would like to thank all the staff at Colligan Funeral Home for helping her children honor " her" wishes. Rachel attended Zion Lutheran Church during her childhood with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and great grandparents. As she looked back on the many happy memories, during those years, she expressed wanting her services to be held at the church, she loved and grew up in. Due to Covid 19 there have been different guidelines put in place at the church. These align with the current laws, set forth by the Governor ie: checking temperatures, social distancing, number of people gathering in one location... etc To keep everyone safe as possible, Zion Lutheran Church implemented their own guidelines for funerals and church services not Colligan Funeral Home. During normal times, there would have been more ushers to help family and friends locate the sanctuary and funeral procession. Because of Covid 19, we had one family member volunteer to usher. On behalf of our family, we apologize for your inconvenience. In closing, we want to thank Colligan Funeral Home. Ann, you helped Rachel's children honor their mothers wishes. You gave them a listening ear, and a shoulder to laugh and cry on. We would recommend Colligan Funeral Home to any family, they will respect your wishes and help you through the most difficult times.
