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.

“I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Carl Williams. He was incredibly kind and patient with my loved ones arrangements. Although the circumstances were incredibly heartbreaking, it was reassuring to know that my loved one was treated with dignity and respect. Losing a loved one is NEVER easy, but Carl and his staff lightened the load for me and my family. THANK YOU CARL!!”

“Carl Williams was very professional and kind during our time of grievance. He laid everything out as far as the packages/pricing, day of services, and expectations between parties go so that everyone understood the plan. He made sure that our home-going celebration for our mother went smoothly and was rememberable. He treated us with the upmost compassion and we’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for funeral services!”
— Ikeriah May
“outstanding professional & compassionate service! my loved one looked like herself! i have been to many homegoing services wherein i didn't recognize the person, even though there was no violent nor disfiguring cause of death. mr. williams took the time to prepare the my loved one as an individual, & not as a paycheck. my family has been using carl m williams funeral directors for many years. the service has always been exceptional. my most recent experience was in february 2021. i was still impressed with the friendly professionalism of mr. williams & his entire staff. i never felt hurried nor rushed. their attention to detail was much appreciated. mr. williams took the time to thoroughly explain all the services, charges, & expectations. he made recommendations and suggestions that saved money without compromising quality, and did not give the 'hard sell' for any item nor service. there was an unexpected glitch at the cemetery on the day of the service. mr, williams quickly & efficiently handled it so that the service was unaffected. carl m. williams funeral directors, inc, may not be the largest funeral home in metro atlanta, but they have the largest heart, & are the best in service, class, & presentation!”
