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
“I could not be more impressed than I am with Mr. Williams and his family. Consummate professionalism and care at every step of the process. I have worked in funeral care and Mr. Williams is an exemplar of the best kind of professional in the industry. He was efficient, kind, and understanding of all my families hectic needs. It always also incredibly reasonably priced. It was a huge relief to not be nickel and dimed during the worst few days of our lives, which is completely the opposite of the other local funeral homes. If I’m ever in the position of needing to do this again in the Myrtle beach area Ocean View will be my first call. If you value your peace of mind I suggest it being your first call as well.”

“The location in Little River, SC; Mr Williams & Patricia they took very good care of my brother and mom. Very professional, and get things done in a timely manner! What I love best about their facility is the casket room.They show you a portion of the casket; just enough to make decisions and not the whole casket which can be scary for some people especially kids. Thank you Ocean View Staff for the amazing work and dedication you’ve shown our family over the past few years. Peace & Blessings to you all!”
