More details to this question:
I need to do a new will quickly and efficiently. I want to supersede any and all of my previous wills - especially being I got divorced 10+ years ago and I'm I don't want my ex to get my "estate" or any of my family members (except as I deem fit). I'm a US Veteran and I want to dictate my burial terms and I want to establish a trust for my life insurance and my estate. I can do all that in a will correct?

While many lawyers are meeting clients by Zoom during the pandemic, there is no typical price because there is no typical situation. You will want to dictate burial terms outside your Will because a Will has no legal effect until a court admits it to probate, probably at least a month after you die. There are many kinds of trusts. All but contingent trusts (eg contingent on a beneficiary being a minor) are documented separately from the Will.
