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.

“I wish I never had to review a Funeral Home. But, with the loss of my amazing husband 5 weeks ago I was so grateful and appreciative of Lankford. Austin was so caring and listened to me for our needs. He answered all our questions with sincere understanding and made sure that day was exactly as my husband deserved. The home is immaculate and spacious. He was with us every step of the way.”

Their staff showed remarkable compassion, guiding us every step of the way, through all the difficult decisions. We felt so blessed, knowing everything was being taken care of and the sincere approach gave us such peace. Lankford funeral home went above and beyond, every little detail from the video they made for us, to the gravesite service, from the church service to the reception, they handled it all. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Lankford from the bottom of my heart. Terri Clifton”
