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
“Alfonso Dawson Mortuary did a magnificent job with the funeral arrangements for my nephew. From the first point of contact, the staff was professional and attentive to my family’s needs. The facilities were more than enough to accommodate the number of attendants to my family member’s service, and all of our needs were perfectly met! I would absolutely recommend the services of this wonderful black owned Atlanta business!”
— Tee Thomas
“It’s been 12 years since my son passed, and the month of October is always hard for me. I knew how to plan a party but was so lost on how to plan a funeral and this funeral home is sent straight from Heaven for the job. I could give 10 stars if I could! My great aunt (Barbara Ann) called Ms. Phoebe and everything else was seamless. This was the hardest thing I had to do in life but, the entire staff was so patient and kind…I’ll never forget the help I received from this funeral home. They treat the deceased like family and I’ve recommended them to everyone who’s had to bury a loved one. Phoebe Dawson is the absolute best in the business!”
— Tanya Middleton
“You should use Alfonso Dawson Mortuary for your Loved Ones Funeral Services. ONLY, if you can appreciate Spectacular Family Oriented Care and Commitment to an Excellent Home Going Service. You will instantly feel safe and confident that everything will be ok and greater than you expected. (Robert Yatta) takes the time to match your family with a Funeral Director (Nyeem) for us. Who will see to it that all your special needs and requirements are met to your specifications and then go beyond that!! I wish I could go on and on and mention every single employee. But I can’t, just make sure you meet the CEO (Mrs. Phoebe) and get a great big hug of confidence, and you will know everything will be better than expected or you could ever imagine…!! THANK YOU so much for sending my mother ‘BJ’ home with such love and professionalism. 🫶🏾”
