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.

“They handled the funeral portion inside their venue which is very nice. The burial went well with the exception of workers sitting on a flatbed truck watching us so they could dismantle and cover. They reminded me of vultures. I don't think Stringer had any control over that problem. We were waiting on insurance money which Stringer was going to submit for us .... and that didn't happen. Something about paperwork getting lost in Hazelhurst ?? So the daughters filed themselves to get everyone paid. Overall it's a solid 4 stars.”

“The staff was gracious and kind. They worked well with my mother to provide exactly what she wanted. They went above and beyond to to handle the little things that took the stress off of the family. We are very grateful for their kindess during our difficult time. The facility was lovely.”
