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.

“They changed some of the things I wrote on my mother’s obituary like I don’t have a college degree and can’t write a sentence myself. It was so unnecessary and some of the sentences actually looked less grammatically correct after they “edited” them. Also make sure you ask them about the jewelry your loved ones were wearing when they passed because they definitely won’t! My whole experience was extremely unprofessional and I would never use this funeral home ever again.”

“They did an amazing job and made everything feel so much lighter for our family. Now that that’s out the way….EBONY deserves 10 stars! She felt like a cousin! She was hands on with my mom every step of the way. She filled in until we could all be there and it felt like a warm hug. We mourned, we laughed, and we got through it thanks to the staff at Carrigan. PS. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There are the stars I wish I could give.”

“I don’t even have the words! I can’t thank them enough! Given the circumstances Ebony the sweet girl that picked up the phone was phenomenal!!! She was beyond supportive and made sure everything we needed was taken care of. She treated us like family and was so compassionate about every step. When I arrived at the funeral I was blown away and emotional at the absolute perfection she put into it!! It was like she was family! I hope that she knows how grateful our family was for her in this dark time. She even thought of things we didn’t. Her and the others made sure to even snap pictures of the heartfelt moments at the funeral. I 110% would recommend Ebony and her crew at Carragain!!! I appreciate you so much Mrs. Ebony!!! From all of us! Dawn wrights family”
