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
“Johnson Funeral Home has been of service to our family on two occasions. 32 years ago, they provided arrangements for our father, and in September 2025, they supported us during the loss of our mother. Rachael, the funeral director, did an outstanding job by thoroughly attending to our needs. She was detailed and attentive, ensuring all our requests were fulfilled, and our mother was presented beautifully. We were very pleased with services provided and the empathy shown through our loss. All staff members we interacted with was kind and professional as well. I would highly recommend their services. Thank you Rachel and Mrs. Patsy!”
— Debra C.
“Johnson Funeral Home once again served our family in the most kind, professional, caring, and compassionate manner. They have been trusted with the arrangements of many of my family members including my grandfather and most recently my grandmother. We are forever grateful for their continued service to our family and would recommend them to anyone needing guidance and support during their time of grief. Johnson Funeral Home will make the difficult times as carefree as possible.”
— Luke Thigpen
“From the moment we called to let Johnson’s know my mother had passed the excellent care began. Mom passed at night but, Steve Schindler reached right out to me to tell me how the entire experience would proceed. Mom was living with me in Baton Rouge and he arranged, wishing an hour, transportation to Johnson’s in Lake Charles. We then set up a meeting and Rachael Broussard Rogers was the one who went over everything that Steve had prepared for us. And, she helped even more with the obituary and the incidentals. Although she would not be with us the day of mom’s funeral she told us who would be helping, making it easier for us. The day of the funeral Matt was right up front to great the family and explain everything that was to happen. Everything was just so well planned that I was very comfortable and at ease, all day. Close to the end of visitation and the rosary Steve came in to help, more comfort for the family and a young man (I wish I would have gotten his name) was also there to comfort and help the family friends and pall bearers. All the way through, I felt they just cared with all their hearts, from first phone call, to everyone who helped, all the way to the ceremony at the graveyard. My family has used Johnson Funeral home for years and this is just one more testimony why we do. When my dad passed away 20+ years ago we were treated with the same and compassion, so I can honestly say, Zeb Johnson has always cared and it is obvious he surrounds his funeral home with loving and caring people, from reception , to directors, to everyone there. Thank all of you from the bottom of my heart!”
