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.

What Families Say
“Always very professional staff that treats you like family. Dealing with the difficult time of loosing a family member takes a toll out of you. I’ve heard other funeral homes taking advantage of family during this emotional draining event as far as prices. Carter Trent has always kept the process simple and explained everything in detail. They never had hidden surprises or fees. I’ve always trusted them. That means a lot when someone is going through a difficult time.”
— Billy Boyd

“The loss of my mother was unexpected. Carter-Trent has always served my family so I naturally chose them. As her death was unexpected, I had never planned a funeral nor had I thought about what planning one entails. David was extremely courteous, knowledgeable, helpful, and guided me through the process. I appreciate the kindness and compassion he showed us during the process and I will continue to use Carter-Trent.”
