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
“They are considering about any paper work. I've been waiting on a death certificate for months and finally called vital records to know that carters hasn't even put in a order for death certificate.”
— Amber May
“I wouldn’t recommend ordering anything through their site since I was informed after not getting a flower arrangement that they do no run the carters funeral site. The funeral or 3rd could not confirm where the flowers were and neither party was helpful.”
— Anaya Pritchett
