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.

“My family has used Cartmell Funeral Home several times over the years. Kathy and her team are kind, compassionate, and make things go as smoothly as possible, during a difficult time. Their facilities are top-notch, and there are so many options to truly make services just what you and/or your loved one wanted. Considerations are made for all involved in the planning process, and the day(s) of the service(s) are some with great care and attention to detail. I recently lost my mom, and Kathy helped me so much throughout. Highly recommend Cartmell-Davis, you will be in good hands!”

“I have to see that Cartmell funeral home made a very difficult task very easy. I just lost my wife of 23 years and turned to Cartmell to make the arrangements due to previous very positive experiences with them. Mary was exceptional at helping me through the process. She was spot on in every way. She was very helpful ,informative and compassionate. And I must all so must mention Kathi she was extremely helpful as well. I have already told my son this is where I wish to go when my time comes. Their team made the entire experience much easier. This is a top notch Funeral Home.”
— BRIAN MATSON
“My family went to Cartmell when my Nana passed away last year. They were professional and compassionate. I would highly recommend them for any funeral services needed including pre-planning, calling hours (wake), Church ceremony and graveside burial that we use when saying goodbye to our special family member. Kathy, Dan and John treated our family like their own and it still gives my family comfort knowing we put my Nana in the best of hands.”
