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
“Parklawn Cemetery is a peaceful and beautiful place. The grounds are wide, open, and carefully maintained, giving the whole area a calm, comforting atmosphere. The location is huge, with plenty of space to reflect and visit loved ones without feeling crowded. The landscaping is always neat, and the setting feels serene every time I’m there. A truly lovely and respectful place.”

“We had a great experience. I highly recommend consulting with family services crew members before any purchases. Dean and Antonia tailored our specific needs, which saved us a lot of time. Dean has been with us throughout the entire time whenever we need him. He is patient, caring and flexible. He made our wishes to come true.”

“I have had two experiences with Parklawn (first one during COVID) and found both times that these couselors are top notch professionals. My first Family Service Counselor Bonny explained everything and answered all my questions. She, in turn, trained Michael Reid, a young professional who is now equally prepared to handle all a family's needs. As I typically ask many questions, both answered or found the information to all my concerns with the greatest of poise and understanding. The cemetary itself reflects the peace anyone would want for their loved ones. It is well kept and extremely respectable. It's comforting before any hard events occur and gives you peace prior to any hard realities. The counselors also find financing instruments to make your requests possible.”
