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.

“From the first call to Lawncrest Memorial services, I was treated with compassion and respect. My best friend, my spouse of 57 yrs died. I was numb. Lydia the Director, was very open about all the options, schedules I had to choose from--never any pressure. So many choices. I highly recommend pre-planning and recording your choices. It makes the healing time easier. Definately I have pre-planned Lawncrest Service for myself. It was a honor and blessing for my husband. I will add photos later.”

“The service the caring and the staff just could not have been better. We were completely taken care of and put at ease. The little extras were so comforting. The thumbprint necklace really means the world to me.”
— Catherine Carson
“I came here looking to find the headstone of my stepdads mother. I was absolutely appalled to see the grass over grown and majority of the headstones abandoned, with weeds and grass growing over them. These were people and their memorials deserve to be treated with respect and honor. This is absolutely terrible, I have been using my hands to clean off the dirt and straw to at least see the names of these poor people.”
