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.

“Mrs Jones was very helpful and informative to help us thru a difficult time during the loss of our sister. They also have offered us some options for our own funeral planning, they were giving us valuable info on what our outdated burial policy would and could pay on our policy, unlike the other provider on our policy (Wright and Ferguson) who did nothing for us because they sold out on the policy to a company named (Parkway funeral home) that was plain to see they had no interest in servicing a policy that they accquired, i realize this policy was 59 yrs old and i know all cost have increased, but again that is where i very much appreciate Mrs Jones who clearly has a moral compass and honored the policy that their name was on and did the right thing.We have also been working with Ella Powlett who has been great.It is plain to see these 2 people at Baldwin Lee are concerned and caring. thank you”

“Regina did a great job of putting things in order for a funeral on short notice during the Christmas holidays for my mom. We were coming from out of town, as many attendees were, and she managed all the details beautifully for us, with just phone calls.”

“5 Stars James “Jim” Rhodes Celebration of Life We recently held my dad’s celebration of life at Baldwin Leaf Funeral Home, and I cannot thank Regina enough for the outstanding service she provided. From the start, she was incredibly compassionate, attentive, and professional. Regina truly listened to our needs and supported us every step of the way. The facility itself is beautiful, warm, and comforting, making it an ideal place to honor a loved one. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, which allowed our family to focus on celebrating my dad’s life rather than worrying about logistics. I am deeply grateful for her kindness and care during such a challenging time. I highly recommend Baldwin Leaf to anyone in need of funeral services in the Pearl, Mississippi area.”
