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 just want to say how wonderful our experience with Langeland Funeral Home was. Devyn was amazing and guided us through the decisions we had to make, she was with us from start to finish with so many good recommendations. I highly recommend planning and pre paying for all your funeral expenses and relieving your loved ones of all the difficult decisions in their time of grief. The staff was very caring and made sure every detail was taken care of. I would definitely recommend them. Joyce Zudweg and family”

“We are most appreciative of Langeland’s services and help during my the time of our mother’s passing. We had purchased burial insurance 18 years ago, and the services and attention we received were responsive, considerate, and timely even after so many years. The staff at the viewing and reception were most attentive and caring. Langeland’s services truly made all the difference in making the arrangements run smoothly, and we are most appreciative and grateful.”
