Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

What Families Say
“5 stars aren't enough for the incredible care we received from Lee Memorial Park & Funeral Home, especially from Christy Houston and the entire team. A little over a year ago, we lost my Dad, and just a few months later, our stepmother passed away too. What could have been an incredibly stressful and complicated ordeal—spanning several months with back-to-back arrangements and some very specific, unusual requests from my Dad—was handled with such grace, respect, and professionalism. Christy Houston went above and beyond from the very start. She listened patiently, coordinated every detail thoughtfully, and treated our family with genuine kindness and empathy during one of the hardest times imaginable. Even after the initial burials, the team continued their support by handling the coordination with the VA for my Dad's headstone—following up diligently long after the services ended. That kind of ongoing commitment meant the world to us. The whole staff at Lee Memorial showed the same level of dedication and compassion. They made sure everything was done with dignity, kept us informed every step of the way, and lightened the burden as much as possible. If you're ever facing this kind of loss in the Tupelo area, I wholeheartedly recommend Lee Memorial Park & Funeral Home—Christy and her team are truly exceptional and will care for your family like their own. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!”
