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.

Darrell was extremely helpful, kind and supportive through the whole process. All the professionals that work with them had the utmost respect for Carmichael funeral home. Thank you for making this difficult time manageable.”

“Carmichael Funeral Homes is terrific to work with. Very thorough with details and options. Their Aftercare Call service (Alison Christiansen) was so helpful in advising all the loose ends and provided links and phone numbers for the respective agencies and services. At a time when one can be very overwhelmed they step and help navigate through the process. Many thanks to all!”

“Carmichael Funeral Home provided excellent service in caring for my husband’s body and commemorating his life. Darrell Owenby offered my sons and me personal and professional guidance as we planned his memorial service locally. Then Matthew transported my husband out of state and commemorated great respect at the gravesite.”
