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
“My husband Randy recently died and we used Walnut Lawn Funeral Home. From the first day we went to make arrangements till everything was complete I could not have asked for nicer people. Hunter walked us thru everything making sure they got everything just the way I wanted it, checked on me daily to make sure I was doing alright and to see if I needed anything. They were in constant contact with me. The service was beautiful and each person there treated our family with love and respect. Emma has checked on me since the funeral also. They made my life easier during the process with all the support they gave me. . Mary Salzman”

“I have worked with Ruth Ann and the Walnut Lawn staff through four of our family member's passings, and they have always been respectful, helpful and professional in our dealings. With the recent loss of my wife, we were able to pre-plan most every aspect of our service arrangements, which made the moment so much easier to deal with. The service turned out to be so very honoring of my wife. All the details were taken care of. I am grateful for the tremendous service they provided.”
— Denny Stevens
“The process of setting up Leona's celebration of life was went so smoothly with help of Walnut Lawn and Emma. Emma worked diligently with my son and daughter getting everything in place. And there was a lot to do. I had so many comments from those attending saying it was the most enjoyable service they had ever attended. My son and daughter get all the credit along with Emma. Thank you Walnut Lawn Funeral Home.”
