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
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.

“I did not use this place After today never will Called because they blocked my driveway with their car, on willow ave. For funeral at St Annes cemetery! I called because I am going to work just like they are at work and if i block them cut The line i get ticket!! Someone answered and i was met with THE MT LEBANON/castle shannon entitlement!! That everyone hates and talks about. See 80 percent of this town are renters and other places people respect each other ! We are from these places! So if they treat someone not using them like this , can you trust them? Unreal next time i will call police make a scene etc etc etc Interrupt the funeral , what other course of action do i have ? Sit there honk horn non stop like everyone does in this town!”
