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.

“First of all, I never thought I would be writing a review for funeral home however, I lost my cousin very sudden. John handled everything for me and my family. Him and his staff are the reason why they are named best funeral home. They blended in with our guest and you could tell they genuinely care and want to help make everything seamless. It’s rare when I get amazing customer service. I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful service. John thanks for going the extra mile for me and my family”

“Superb! Is one word to describe the services provided at the most turbulent time for my family and I. From the time of my loved ones passing up until weeks later the level of concern never changed. Mr. Williams himself took time out to answer questions and ease our worries while humbly working along with my family (which is not an easy task). I always refer the services of John Williams above all during such a tumultuous time. When the time comes you want someone who’ll professionally treat your family as there. See John Williams!”

“John L. Williams Funeral Home is an experience that i must share. During such a devastating tragedy my family and I were overwhelmed with such a great deal of stress and task. We exhausted just about every option for funeral homes! Some were way too expensive, not dedicated enough, unprofessional & insensitive. Our needs were met expeditiously from the time we called. Up until we walked into the establishment. In an instant we were greeted and treated like family. The staff at John L. Williams embraced us with open arms and took the time to sit and listen to our concerns. While making it a priority to accommodate and personalize the service to our satisfaction. One staff member in particular Tierra left an ever lasting impression on my family and I. Highly respectful, professional, energetic and helpful. She offered a number of options that supported our budget. Tierra’s demeanor was pleasant, with such a beautiful smile and positive attitude. She is the epitome of what excellent customer service should be, while representing such a trusted reputation. There wasn’t a hair out of place , very neatly dressed with an attractive attitude that displays her passion for this profession! I’d highly recommend JLW Funeral home to lift the burden, while planning your homegoing celebration. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
