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?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“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
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“From the very first moment, we felt truly cared for. Dan Biggins treated us like family and guided us through every step with patience, compassion, and respect. He took the time to really listen to what we wanted and helped us create a celebration of life that reflected my husband’s spirit, rather than focusing only on mourning his passing. What stood out most was how comfortable Dan and his entire team made us feel during such a vulnerable time. Every employee we interacted with was outstanding - kind, attentive, and supportive. Together, they ensured that every detail was handled with professionalism and genuine care. Thanks to their guidance, what could have been an overwhelming experience turned into a heartfelt, meaningful tribute. I am forever grateful for the compassion, empathy, and dedication shown to me and my family.”

“Exceptional, compassionate, considerate, and courteous was what Dan & his crew showed towards my family for my Mothers services. The funeral parlor was immaculate, everything we needed or could want was readily available. From start to finish, we never once felt rushed, everything was explained in full detail. My Father and I can not say enough about Magoun Biggins, they made a really sad situation bearable and for that we are forever grateful.”
