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.

“In one of the hardest times of my life, the support received from Ira B. and the Baldwin Brothers organization was outstanding. Comforting, supportive, informative and definitely no up-selling, which is what I was afraid of going into this process. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you need these types of services.”

“I was down in North Fort Myers over the past 6-8 months while my mother was being treated for various illnesses. Unfortunately my mother passed away this past February 2018. We were given two names of establishments that offered cremation services. I remember calling Affordable Cremations at 5am expecting to leave a voicemail with my questions. However, I was shocked at being patched thru to a person named Jeff Wilson. Even though it was very early in the morning, Jeff was very polite and understanding! Jeff helped my father, brother and I coordinate funeral arrangements and a service that was held on-site. Jeff seemed to be a very calming presence during this very difficult time. I would highly recommend Jeff Wilson and Affordable Cremations.”

“Our experience with Baldwin Brothers has been a great one. From the lovely luncheon served at the seminar to the final "signing on the dotted line", we were quite pleased with each step of the planning process. Tina Fiorino, the representative with whom we worked, was never less than charming, professional, helpful, and caring. We are confident everything will run smoothly and each detail will be satisfied upon our deaths. My husband and I will certainly recommend Baldwin Brothers to friends.”
