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
“My Grandparents and Mother had nice services at Lake Lawn. I have had a terrible experience with Guy Poche. He has not communicated with our family the days he took off work or had the initiative to delegate to another Funeral Director to keep the process moving. We are approaching two weeks since my Dad's passing. Communication has been poor. I am not certain about using Lake Lawn's services again, even with our family's crypt.”
— Christopher Sanchez
“To the gentleman and employee who graciously helped me finding a friend’s plot yesterday, thank you so much!! I asked two other employees who tried to help but were unable. Thank you for going out of your way to help me. I was so lost and emotional. Awesome employee! He was working inside the West Garden Development, West Unit 1, south corridor 12.”
