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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“This funeral home is amazing. I recently buried my sister and the staff here made everything a lot easier. They were professional, compassionate and very supportive. They made my sister look just like she looked while living, even though her body endured a lot of trauma. From our first phone call up until she was lowered into the ground, this funeral home was there and made us feel like we were family.”
— Lottie Swift
“My beloved fathers memorial service was beautiful. I want to start off by saying, that I was referred to Williams Funeral Home by a friend of mine who used their service, and I can attest that the services my family and I received were phenomenal. I must say, going through something so horrific such as planning a burial for a loved one for the 1st time was difficult, especially considering what we had to go through,but (God) is good, the Williams Funeral Home was right there. Mr. Williams, Ms. Ellen, Ms. Geri and to the rest of the staff, your patience, your support, your passion and your determination all reflects why you are in this profession, we appreciate you, everything turned out so beautifully, so elegant, and I was amazed by my father's memorial card 👏. Sometimes it's not what you do it's how you do it, and for that we truly thank you for your services, God Bless you all. 6/20/21 Happy Father's Day Dad 💙🕊”
