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.

“Words cannot express the outstanding professionalism of Tripp Carter and his staff at Bradshaw-Carter. Tripp took care of every detail and worked with our family to make my husband’s funeral arrangements exactly what we wanted. He gave my husband the same loving care as he gave my precious grandson 16 years ago. The exquisite beauty of the funeral home enhances the feeling of peace and caring that abides within the heart of Tripp. There is no other funeral home that has the personal touch and care that Tripp gives to your loved one. Bradshaw-Carter is by far the only funeral home that holds the title of being the best in every aspect for your dear loved one. May God bless Tripp for all he does to make a very difficult time peaceful for the family. We could not have made it through these days without him.”
