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 experience was far less than I expected from Lincoln Memorial. For someone who is grieving the last thing you need to worry about is a preplanned funeral that goes awry. There was no direction and no leadership from the funeral director. I can’t list the things that went wrong or things that were expected that never happened because the list is too long. I am stuck with Lincoln Memorial because my funeral arrangements again has been preplanned, but you might want to shop around for a more of above standard experience. You and your beloved family member deserve the best.”
— Cheryl Scheffert
“Our sudden need to make funeral arrangements was very difficult. Cara was very kind and supportive as she walked us through all the options, answering a hundred and one questions, staying very patient and caring. It made a difficult situation much easier. I would definitely recommend Lincoln Memorial and Cara.”
— Kathy Erickson
“I met with Cara who was very thorough. She answered all my questions and was very insightful about the process of transferring a plot that my parents had purchased into my name. Nancy Scott”
