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.
“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.

What Families Say
“The people who work here are super friendly and have a an amazing sense of humor. They are people oriented and the building is very well clean and maintained. I also adore the fountain out front on Main Street!”
— Kristoph Duell
“The care, education, and empathetic guidance we got from Carleton made the process of burying my father so much easier. The Carleton team spent hours with us on every detail, guided us through the whole process, and were able to solution some last minute snafus (not their fault) quickly and with great care. I am also impressed with their progressive approach in having a female funeral Director; something you don't always see. I think having a woman at the helm created a unique experience; one of warmth, compassion, creativity and empathy. However the entire team there; men and women went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
— Gallagher and Consultants
“Andrea was such a comfort during a difficult loss our family was completely unprepared for. Carleton Funeral Home is exactly who a family can trust when suffering through the shock of losing a loved one.”
— Melissa Shea
