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.

“It’s not easy to lose your mother and father within 3 months of each other. My parents split when I was 8 so it wasn’t a case of one couldn’t live without the other. We lost Mom on September 13, 2025 and it broke my heart. I had been her caregiver for 10 years and she was my life. Mom prepaid for her burial services with Forest Lawn. Our family had used Forest Lawn for perpetual care since 1979. Last count we had 11 loved ones in perpetual care at Forest Lawn. I went to go meet the ‘director’. I was still in shock from Mom’s passing. Laci McClendon is Forest Lawn’s hidden secret. She instantly knew how to put me at ease. By the time I left I felt like we were old friends. She was so kind and not once did I feel pressured into anything. We decided set my Mom’s memorial service 6 weeks from the passing. I needed time to grieve and gather my wits. The weather needed to cool down. It all came off beautifully. The flowers Laci ordered were just gorgeous. Bryan, her counterpart, helped out on the day of the memorial and couldn’t have been kinder. He was just as dedicated as Laci. Forest Lawn you have a winning pair in those two. Don’t let them go. I will recommend Forest Lawn and encourage everyone to use their services. A class act indeed. ❤️👍🏼🙏”

“Miss Lacey McLendon is a “God Send”!! Such a knowledgeable, beautiful, patient, loving understanding person! I am so blessed that Lacey handled my husband’s death with me!! The love and patience she gave me and my family was so needed at this very difficult time for us! The Obituary she wrote for my husband was “Oscar Award” deserving!! Lacey touched my heart and so many other people who read it! She listened for hours of who my husband Jim Cannon of 25 years was and what he meant to me, family and friends! This was so important to me! Lacey gave us time to say our goodbyes even at the Funeral Home to my husband on 2 separate occasions. This also was very special and important, due to family flying in from out of town and because my husband was going to be cremated. His remains came back in such a timely manner. And the beautiful boxes they came in touched my heart. Getting his death certificate’s so quickly was amazing. There is nothing they could have done to make all of this any better or easier! I highly recommend Lacey McLendon, Dignity Memorial, Forest Lawn Funeral Home to anyone who has just lost a loved one! Please keep in mind to ask for Lacey, you will not be disappointed. She is a rare gem and a blessing. Sincerely, Mrs. James Cannon”
