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
“Recently my father passed away and 16 years ago my mother passed. Dad had chosen Carpenter Memorial Chapel to assist with my mother’s funeral needs as well as his. We could not have been more pleased with the kindness, compassion and knowledge that was provided to myself and my sister upon our first visit as we began the funeral planning for my dad. The entire staff were very accommodating, extremely professional and pleasant throughout the entire process. Days after the service I even received a follow up from Carpenter’s checking on us, and to see if we needed anything further. We could not have been more pleased and appreciative in how my father was cared for and how the entire staff assisted us through a difficult time. Very high recommendations with Carpenter Memorial Chapel.”

“The team at Carpenter memorial chapel are amazing. They were incredibly kind and thoughtful. They were professional, yet warm from the time they picked mom up from her home and throughout the funeral and burial process. They even checked in on us a month after she died. We could not have asked for better care at a difficult time.”
