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.

“Mountain View helped my family and I when no other cemetery or mortuary would. My mom unfortunately passed away in the Philippines despite being a long time SoCal resident. We laid her to rest there as it was her final wish but we still wanted to have a celebration fo her life here in CA for her family and friends. I called around to places like Forrest Lawn and other mortuaries in the area but no one would service us because we didn't actually have my mother's remains anymore so there wasn't an additional fee to gain. Luckily I found Mountain View and they accommodated us without hesitation. Elizabeth, my counselor was wonderful and connected me with a wonderful Reverend (Luft Johnson) as well as all the staff who would be helping me out on the day. Every member of their staff was so sweet and helpful and helped make my mother's celebration of life a very special day. I can't thank them enough.”
