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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“We can't express enough superlatives to describe what a wonderful experience we had with Forest Lawn in Davie. From the start, the onboarding process was subtle, no pressure, no upselling tactics. Sergio was great to work with. He made sure all the details were perfectly planned ahead of time. There was no stress for anyone. He took care of everything. During the preliminary walk-through we discussed how things would be laid out, how the memorabilia we provided would be displayed for the celebration of life memorial service. He mentioned his team was good at it, but when I tell you they went above and beyond -- they did an outstanding job! They transformed the entire place so well it was just incredible. Whomever is responsible for this -- you're incredible. Then on the day of the service, upon arriving into the parking lot before any guests arrive, our family was immediately met by Arthur, the funeral director who managed the event that day. Never in my life have I experienced such compassion and professionalism from an individual like this. He was such an amazing person. He knew exactly what to do, when to do it, what to say, and how to handle everything. His ability to coordinate every detail while also having complete awareness of grieving family and friends was something special. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Forest Lawn Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens (Davie) to anyone looking for true customer service and attention to detail.”
