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
“We were so pleased with Kirby- Carlson Funeral Home’s performance in helping with my mother, Ramona Unruh’s funeral. They went above and beyond in helping us with all the details that we wanted to have for her. The pictures’ video with song added was so touching and the best we have seen done in all the services we have attended. It was helpful in being able to have a face to face meeting and subsequent phone calls and emails to make everything the way that mom wanted. The room for her visitation was perfect and felt like we were in a home to visit and see friends and family. We give Kirby-Carlson Funeral Home an A+ for a job well done! We can’t appreciate all of you so much in this difficult time. Allen and Maretta Unruh”

“Chris, Tierra and the rest of the people who work here made it easier for me and my family to get through this particular situation with no stress and did so with compassion and attention to all the small issues in taking care of my daughter. I will never forget how they stepped up and eased us through the process with efficient and honest care that went above and beyond. They even communicated with me afterward to see how I was holding up. I am so glad we chose this team to take care of my daughter in this situation. Thank you Chris, Tierra and Sydney for everything you did. My beautiful baby is at peace now.”
— Terri Allen
“Carlson Funeral Home was wonderful to work with. Christopher met with myself and sister on a Sunday evening. The obituary was to be at the local newspaper on Tuesday morning to get it published. Christopher was very helpful in every way making this stressful time go smoothly. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Definitely 5 star funeral home.”
