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.
Know Your Rights

“I'd give lower if I could. I have NEVER, EVER talked with someone who could be so callous and unsympathetic as the director I spoke to on numerous occasions, including today. Not only does this Funeral " Service " prey amongst the vulnerable and incompetent residents of nursing homes, when asked simple questions about money, services to be rendered, etc.the defensive manner in which he engaged himself is less than desirable and almost slimey like a slithering snake. I'd almost rather my loved one be buried in the backyard! If you want caring, empathetic, compassionate service, I suggest looking elsewhere in the Hazleton area or pray your loved one meets their maker in an other place, town or city, anywhere else than having the final arrangements at Fierro Funeral Services. God bless and I am sorry for your loss. That is probably more than you'll get out of Fierro's.”
