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
“I have numerous loved ones buried there. Never a problem with the funeral home or cemetery. They both are very well kept facilities under great management. We just had two more deaths recently. Once again, Lakewood did an amazing job. Thank you Eric Hernandez and staff for such a great experience under such difficult circumstances. Please understand that the majority of families here have great experiences. You hardly hear about them. But, you will always hear about the "bad" ones. And not all of them are true. There's always two sides to a story. This is a great and beautiful place to have your funeral and to be laid to rest. God bless.”
— Steven Ray
“My parents wanted to go ahead and preplan their funerals. So, we went to Lakewood because it is our family’s cemetery. Porcia Gilmore and her staff were just amazing. They were patient, professional and so kind to all of us. What might have been a sad occasion, was in fact a pleasant experience. Thank you to everyone who gave their time and attention to us.”
— Mary Moore Davis
“Eric and staff helped navigate us through the painful loss of my mother. They were professional and extremely helpful, covering all aspects of the funeral that we would never had known. In addition, he was knowledgeable about Catholic funerals and specific terminology, including beautiful religious prayer cards. **** My father has now passed and the funeral home again did an exceptional job. This time I worked with Janet, and she was able to fulfill our request for an Air Force Honor ceremony, including Taps, for my Veteran dad”
