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
“Pete was absolutely amazing to work with when it came to taking care of my brother's funeral service. Losing a loved one is extremely hard but Pete made the entire process as smooth as possible. He lifted such a huge weight off my shoulders. He served our family with such kindness and care. Durella (I hope I spelled it right) was just as amazing. Both of them took care of my brother as if he was their own family. My family and I will be forever grateful for them and all they did. If you want your loved one to truly be taken care of when their time comes, this is the funeral home to go with. You will not be disappointed with the love, the care, and the kindness they provide.”
— Angelica Upton
“Pete was amazing in helping with my uncles funeral. During this hard and difficult time he was very helpful and made this process so much better I highly recommend them to anyone. Side note they have great candy and snacks which was great for my kids and myself.”
— Silviana Lujan
“Williams Funeral staff are very professional and caring. From the pre-arrangements through the at-need and afterward. They make you feel as though you are family; there to serve only you. However, we all know there are additional families. The staff frequently personally follows up in the days after to check on you, and see if there is anything you need. I met both times with Pete. He made me feel comfortable, providing exactly services requested, with no pressure sales for additions. Which unfortunately, in today's world is not always the case. I would strongly suggest to any family to check into Williams Funeral Home for pre-planning and at-need services. My recommendation was non-solicited, and comes from a retired Funeral Director / Embalmer / Crematory Operator.”
