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
“I’ve been lax in writing a review for the Lawrence Funeral Home. My beloved passed away a month ago. Miles understood our feelings of grief. He offered comfort and support during a difficult time and genuinely listened and guided us through the process. He made everything effortless including drafting the obituary and making my Wayne look absolutely beautiful with his music playing and his motorcycles positioned outside. Miles and Nicole at Lawrence Funeral Home are the people you want to properly and respectfully care for your loved ones.”
— Dale Murawski
“Feel strange reviewing a Funeral Home, but have been involved with them twice over the last few years, and they've always been responsive, compassionate, courteous, helpful, respectful, and transparent”
— Ed Friese
“My best friend had her mother’s funeral service here. From her own mouth, from start to finish it was a great experience. Eileen was exceptional as was everyone else there. She made a very devastating time for my best friend so much easier from her compassion and professionalism. The funeral home is modern and updated, not like other funeral homes I’ve been to. They have a large “family room” which has tables and chairs as well as plenty of counter space for any catered food or drinks. The bathrooms were clean and always had toilet paper. They have an Ebook for attendees to sign in as well where they can print out return envelopes with each attendee’s mailing address. The chapel where her mother was was also smartly arranged and the flower arrangements that my best friend purchased through the funeral home were gorgeous and full. Eileen was there from the visitation on through the burial. She was absolutely on hand for everything! Highly highly recommend. Edit: I forgot to mention that they did an absolutely phenomenal job on preparing her mother’s body. They made her look like she was actually alive and just sleeping in the casket. I know that for my best friend and her sister and their entire family they were absolutely thankful that she looked so beautiful and peaceful and just like how they remember her when she was alive and well. I’ll always be thankful to LFH for giving that gift to us.”
