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.

“We recently used Hazel Green Funeral Home after the passing of my dad, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Before going in, we had been warned by family and friends about negative experiences with other funeral homes, such as being upcharged or pressured into purchasing things during a very emotional time. That was not our experience at all with Hazel Green Funeral Home. Craig, the owner and funeral director, and his staff were incredibly kind, empathetic, and professional from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was comforting, with two sweet comfort dogs, and we were greeted with coffee, water, and cookies, which was a thoughtful touch. Craig made the process simple and stress free. We filled out a few forms, and he took care of nearly everything else. On the day of the funeral, everything went smoothly. They scanned over a hundred photos for us, organized them so we could take them home, and even placed billboards around town with the service information. Several people told us they saw the signs, turned around, and came to the visitation to honor my dad, which meant so much to our family. In such a difficult time, Hazel Green Funeral Home truly went above and beyond to make us feel cared for and supported. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“I can't say enough good things about the people who make Hazel Green Funeral Home what it is. My father-in-law passed in early 2020, and through the grief and general chaos (though we knew his time was approaching), Craig Whisenant and the staff were helpful and accommodating. We "decorated" the visitation room with Alabama football, fishing, Sundrop, woodworking, and everything else my father-in-law loved. It was a wonderful time in an otherwise sad situation. My mother-in-law passed a little over a week ago. Just as sad of a time, but totally different. The staff (again I want to give Craig thanks) was so supportive, and we were walked through every step of her obituary, planning, etc. And there was a weather threat that was uncertain. Hazel Green Funeral Home worked with us - without any pressure at all - to make certain we could make adjustments to our schedule. We did, and we're grateful they were so accommodating. I cannot recommend another establishment as highly as I recommend Hazel Green Funeral Home. The staff genuinely cares about its clients, and that is obvious from the very first interaction.”

“I have now used Hazel Green Funeral Home Services for both of my parents. The staff has always been supportive and responsive to all my family needs. I will say I worked closely with Craig and Randy and they are top notch in my book! I can’t remember the young gentleman name that just recently helped with my father’s funeral but he also provided exceptional services and met all expectations! I always tell everyone that I would and will always choose them!”
