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
“Our family cannot express enough gratitude for the extraordinary care and compassion shown by Lawton-Turso Funeral Home during one of the most difficult times of our lives. They honored our mother in the most beautiful and dignified way. When we saw her, she looked so peaceful — as if she were only sleeping. That image brought us tremendous comfort and will remain with us always. Every detail was handled with grace, professionalism, and genuine kindness. The staff guided us patiently through each step, treating our mother with the utmost respect and treating our family with warmth and understanding. They truly went above and beyond to create a service that reflected her life and spirit. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for giving our mother such a beautiful farewell and for giving our family peace during a time of sorrow. We are forever grateful.”

“My family recently experienced the sudden death of a loved one. She was young, beautiful and full of life and we were devastated. I have attended many services over the years but I have never experienced that level of professionalism, skill, attention to detail, dignity and compassion of a funeral director namely Mr. John Lawton. He helped my family navigate through a very difficult time with ease and I want to personally express my thanks and gratitude to him and his staff. Ellen Popovich Doyle R.N., M.A.”
