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.

“Carolina Cremation Is an excellent company with impeccable service… especially during the loss of my husband. They were very informative, assistance was great and they were able to answer questions that I had…. They followed through with making sure I had everything I needed, and that I was comfortable with what they were doing. They have continued to communicate just in case I have any further needs or concerns…. I appreciate them very much!”

“My mother passed away 10-9-25. I chose this company as it was recommended by the hospice facility she was in. They went above and beyond to help me and assist me with the process. They were all very kind, very helpful. The doctor at the facility my mother was in would not sign off on their portion of the paperwork so she could be cremated. Will went above and beyond to get that done. When I went to pick everything up, he explained everything to me and was very kind. This was a very difficult situation for us. My mother passed quickly. And I had no idea how to handle any of this. This company will go above and beyond to help you and your loved one. I highly recommend them. They have even checked on me after the fact to make sure we are all doing okay. Thank you for all that your company has done.”

“My mom passed away last month. Carolina Cremation handled my moms remains with the utmost respect. Will has been exceptional. I didn't have to worry about anything, from picking my mom up from the hospital, handling all the paperwork to handing us her precious remains. Thank you so much to Carolina Cremation during this difficult time. 🙏🏽❤️”
