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
“Our family has called the Lakeview/ Lincoln Park community “home” for over 60 years. A year ago in October, 2024, Lakeview Funeral Home helped with the burial of my husband, Ruben Torres at Graceland Cemetery. Their compassionate service was felt from beginning to end.”
— Mary Torres
“We had a wonderful experience working with the caring professionals at Lakeview Funeral Home after our father passed away. From the initial meeting to discuss arrangements and practical details to the memorial service we held for dad months later (as our family decided we needed some time before saying goodbye), everyone we encountered was wonderful and patient. Andrea (who was always responsive and understanding) and Skyler (who took the time to make a playlist for the event so we had one less thing to worry about) really made a difficult time less stressful for our family. Also, the chapel at the funeral home is very nice and unique. Several of our family commented on how comfortable the setting was. All in all, I would highly recommend Lakeview Funeral Home.”
— Brett Gallagher
“Great costumer service by every staff member. Andrea was available to answer all my questions. She was incredibly helpful and kind when dealing with my loved one's cremated remains. I cannot recommend them enough.”
— Camille
