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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 called Langsford & Leslie said they would do it free of charge.God bless the staff at Langford.”
— Dennis Eggers
“These people amazed me when I lost my mom ! Still breaks my heart such a bad experience I do not suggest anyone use these people so rude and don’t care about your feelings at all it was all about money the entire time!!! And I put my mother’s wedding ring on her for her funeral and somehow it was taken off her finger and I NEVER GOT IT BACK! And they couldn’t explain to me where it went!!! The son Jeremy has the worst disposition a person could ever have……,, it was the worst experience ever!!”
— Jamie Wilson
“My dad died unexpectedly and too young, and my family was in a bit of a state of shock trying to plan everything. Jeremy was extremely helpful and kind the entire time, helping take some of the burden of organizing and planning off of our hands. He helped call around to several churches trying to find us a place to have a service, which was difficult during COVID times. Since my dad was a veteran, he helped organize the military service and is assisting us with getting his cremains interred at my dad's military cemetery. I'm still unsure about the necessity of the paper goods, not sure if the quality of the products is strictly worth the expense, but ultimately I'm pleased with our experience. I will say that the makeup for the viewing was a little chalky, definitely got some "Twilight" vibes with the paleness on the face. Oh well. I know there are probably limitations when it comes to mortuary makeup, but a little warmth/tan would have been more realistic.”
