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.

What Families Say
“This was the first time I've had to personally deal with a funeral home. The funeral director 'Vernon' is so nurturing and caring, he tries to make the process as pain free and relaxing as he can. I highly recommend using this funeral home!! The other funeral homes that I talked to before I found Carr-Yager were so dry and all business, whereas Carr-Yager was much more personable and caring. They have services available in Columbia too!”
— Luke Kroon
“Carr Yager serviced both of my parent's funerals. I can't think of anything they could have done, to make the experience more respectful, easy or complete. Their compassion and professionalism was such a blessing to me and my family. Their selfless sacrifice of time and energy, saved me innumerable moments of worry and stress. I highly recommend, God forbid the need, Carr Yager, to handle a loved ones cremation, service, funeral.”
— Mary Groveman
“This place is just wonderful! I can’t ever even start to repay the man who came and got my nana but sir you are just heaven sent. I’ll forever tell everyone about you. You didn’t have to wait 30 minutes for me to get there to say my goodbyes but you did. Seriously from the bottom of my heart I’m so thankful for you.”
— Rose
