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
“Woodlawn was such a pleasure to do business with. Sadly, I lost my mom (2021) and then my father (2025), and we came to Woodlawn for both arrangements. It was the most easygoing and helpful process throughout, not to mention the time and attention Director Terri Merz provided along the way. I can never thank Woodlawn enough for how cordial and considerate they have been during such a difficult time. I would recommend their services for anyone who’s in need!”
— Lauren Whitney
“ProTip: If you are not related to anyone buried here, there is a not so subtle vibe of your presence not being welcome on the grounds no matter how respectful you are of your surroundings. I was looking for the grave of a favorite co-worker and I had to cut my visit short because of the golf cart operator that kept circling around -- I felt that my every move was being monitored -- they have a no photography (?!) policy in place here and maybe they were hoping to catch me in the act or something. I feel sad that I never did find the plot I was searching for, and unless a family member is buried here in the future I probably won't go back.”
— Amy Young
“Why is it so hard to view odituarties listings. You've lost my business because I'd hate to put my family and friends through this.”
— Alice Malone
