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
“The staff at Woodlawn helped me with the various selections including selecting an appropriate graveside for my mother and took care of everything in one visit.”
— Janet Pickens
“The best moments in a memorial service are the short talks—when someone captures a telling detail that brings a lifetime to life. These gatherings pull together people who haven’t seen each other in years, but that doesn’t mean they leave any closer. And that’s fine—rituals stage a performance that lets us believe we’ll reconnect, if only by showing up in front of everyone. That’s not so bad. Btw, as you pull into the driveway, the place has the look of a theme park.”
— Krishin Asnani
“We have had multiple family members there the experience with my mom placement.Unfortunately was bad communication was terrible.The spelling of her name was terrible, very disappointed”
— Steve Norry
