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.

“Lincoln Funeral Home and Cemetery provided an exceptional experience for my family during the death of our dad/granddad. The Lincoln Staff was kind, thoughtful, responsive, and dedicated to understanding our needs. A special thanks to Ms. Tia Threadgill for the extraordinary care shown during such a difficult time. Her service, beyond the ordinary, reflects the truth Ayi Kwei Armah often reminds us of—that our shared humanity is most clearly shown in how we care for one another. We also want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Sandra Hyder and the cemetery crew! We are deeply grateful for the entire Lincoln staff for their dedication and professionalism, and we highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a team that brings passion, excellence, and genuine care to their work, especially at a time when people need it the most – during the death of a loved one.”

“The death of a loved one is a deeply overwhelming, exhausting, and emotional experience. Preparing for their funeral or memorial service can seem like an impossible task. In moments like these, choosing a funeral home that truly understands and supports you is essential. Lincoln Funeral Home’s staff provided exactly the care and support my family and I needed. From the moment I entrusted them with my husband, every member of their team demonstrated professionalism, accommodation, and above all, compassion. When my daughter and I arrived, the front office staff greeted us warmly and expressed their condolences. They thoughtfully offered us water and coffee, recognizing our emotional state. One of the front desk employees went a step further, comforting me and praying with me. Her kindness and thoughtfulness truly made a difference. The sincerity of the front office staff extended to the planning team, including Emerson Mays and Tia Threadgill. Because my husband had a preneed arrangement, the planning process was less stressful. Emerson and Tia guided us through each step with professionalism and care, helping us relax during an otherwise difficult time. Their expertise and advice were invaluable, especially when we needed to make adjustments to the preneed plan. On the day of the Memorial Service, Lincoln Funeral Home went above and beyond our expectations. They surprised us by providing two rugs that matched the theme we had chosen for the service, bringing a smile to our faces. The chapel was well lit and beautifully arranged. The picture frame surrounding my husband’s display picture matched perfectly with the gorgeous floral arrangement encircling his urn. Throughout the process, Emerson, Tia, and I kept in contact as we awaited my husband’s death certificate. When I returned to pick it up, I was overcome with emotion and felt physically and emotionally drained. Tia immediately asked their family counselor, Elizabeth Ross, to meet with me. Elizabeth was patient, attentive, and spoke with genuine wisdom. Her comforting spirit and the prayer at the conclusion of our session provided much-needed solace. Lincoln Funeral Home’s staff were phenomenal throughout every step of my husband’s final homegoing. I am deeply grateful for the service and compassion they provided to my family and me during such a difficult time.”

“Martha Thompson made our process of picking out a grave space SO SMOOTH, until it didn't even feel like we were handling business. Her attention to detail was unmatched. She was very thorough, and made sure we understood EVERY SINGLE DETAIL. There were no tricks and hidden fees, or cost If you are doing a burial with Lincoln, please ask for Martha Thompson, SHE IS THE BEST”
