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.

“Aftercare of my sister was entrusted to the Willie Watkins Funeral Home in Carrollton, Georgia. Although I was not there for the beginning of this journey, I was there to witness the end. Very professional staff not in just the care of my sister's remains and the services; but the care of the family as well. Our driver was the best, I have mobility issues and was given every consideration possible as well as my 97 year old aunt. I spoke with Mr.Watkins, the driver Danielle, and a couple other staff members over a couple of days. As busy as they were, they took time to answer questions and explain when explanations were called for. When saying earthly goodbye to loved ones, it helps to know they're getting the best care possible.”

“I want to say thank you to Willie Watkins funeral home, especially Shaun. The whole experience was stress- free for my family and I, Shaun and her entire family (Watkins) is heaven sent. I would definitely recommend anyone going through the lost of a love to allow them to work their magic!”

“Where do I start? I cannot tell them thank you enough! From the first phone call to the end of it all. When I tell you what/how they had our mom looking, no words! They were so empathetic and made this very hard time a very peaceful and easy process for us. Darrell and family went above and beyond! I highly and I mean highly recommend them, and I am very picky💯 They take the stress off of you and the family! Because during the time of grieving, you're not even thinking properly. I barely knew the days of the week. I'm not a gatekeeper, so just wanted to share our amazing experience with them. Thank me later😊”
