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.

“I recently purchased a gravesite at Forest Park Lawndale, and I had a very positive experience. Jose Cuellard was incredibly professional, patient, and compassionate throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly, never made us feel rushed or pressured, and treated our family with genuine care and respect. During what can be a difficult and emotional time, Jose made the experience smooth and reassuring. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, and we feel confident in our decision. I highly recommend Forest Park Lawndale and especially Jose Cuellard for his outstanding service.”

“We were not ready to say goodbye to my grandpa. Tiffany Delgado was able to help us put on a beautiful service for him. At the viewing/ wake, My grandpa looked as he did before he got sick. Tiffany also helped us manage our photos on the day of the service. And she styled the tables with memorabilia in a way that felt warm… like my grandpa. Thank you Tiffany !! You made this whole process as smooth as it could be for us and you handled everything with care. Strongly recommend coming here if you need their services.”
