McDonald Keohane Funeral Home - East

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.

“John Congdon and staff were wonderful during the whole planning and during the visiting and memorial events. I'm so grateful my parents chose McDonald Kehohane during the end of life planning.”
— Eileen Wali
“Corinne Leary was great to work with. During this tough time with the loss of my mother, Patricia, she took the time to explain the whole process from beginning to end and was very patient and understanding. She went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and as planned. As part of the aftercare service, Kathy, the estate specialist was helpful with explaining what needed to be done to finalize my mothers affairs and answering questions that I had.”
— Theresa Whittaker
“Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy. The pain that comes with grief can be crippling. Planning a funeral is one of the most difficult times in life. McDonald Keohane most recently helped us plan our mom's funeral. We felt supported by their whole team. John Comer was our contact and he embraced us like family; everyone came to our support and made the process so much easier. We are grateful for their continued support as we have had to reach out following the funeral. We highly recommend their team of professionals!”
