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
“Buried my husband today and from start to finish I have been working directly with Mr. James Williams. I have received nothing but professionalism and the utmost respect from him and his staff. They were patient, accommodating, and made the process as easy as possible for my family and I. Whatever I needed, they came through. We will use them again should the need arise.”
— Ashanti Bratton
“I used this service to burry my father next to my mother and it was a big mistake. The staff at Williams notified me that my father was not going to be buried next to my mother the morning of my father's funeral allowing me no time to make timely arrangements. This company is very unethical, no one else from my family will be buried here. They ignored my dream of having my married parents buried side by side, didn't bother to offer me the slightest apology. They also rushed me to make a last minute decision where to bury my father while i was grieving two hours prior to my father's funeral”
— Sumter Black Chamber of Commerce
“I wish there was a selection of no stars. very unprofessional. The women at the front door have a sour attitude. They do not reply to emails. They do not respect all family members and make decisions based off their personal views and not the deceased final wishes. very calculating and manipulative”
— Urban Rehabs Network
