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.

“I would highly recommend Baldwin Brothers for funeral and cremation services. I have been on the fence attending informative funeral dinner seminars for years and I have always been impressed with Sandra's wealth of knowledge along with the variety of services and payment plans Baldwin has to offer. Services ranging from body transport plans needed for my elderly parents originally from MA to my own plans of a green burial in Paines Prairie Conservation Cemetery here in Gainesville, Fl. for my husband and I. Thank you, Sandra for all the patience and care you have taken helping my family make final arrangements, locking in our price, and saving us from the trauma of guessing each other's wishes during the worse time of losing them 💗”
