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
“Very expensive!! If you get someone else to make the head stone because they can make the same stones for cheaper prices. Forest Lawn still charges outrageous prices for perpetual "fees" then calls you back and tells you that you still owe them $125 more cause they didn't add it in to what you have already paid! Total rip off! They bought their plots back in the 1970's and still If we had know my Granny would have never been buried there! But now we know and we won't use this rip off place ever again! And they could careless if you are a veteran!! Beware Veterans I hope you not planning on being buries here! Never will I recommend this place to anyone!”

“Wow, high prices on bronzes here. They require a bronze marker then charge you top dollar for it. Forest Lawn is owned by McDougal and they are fine people but very pricey. Shop around; I looked at all the options and bought mine eventually at Discount Monuments and saved about $500. Nice folks, great prices, small family company.”
— Andie McDonnell
“My in-laws are interred at Oak Lawn, but I had lost that information over the years. Now my adult son is travelling between Atlanta and NC and wanted to stop by to see them. The folks at Forrest Lawn were VERY HELPFUL in getting me to the right address and even capturing an image of Oak Lawn to send to my son while he's travelling north on I-85. A special moment enabled by special people! Thanks so much!”
