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.

“During one of the hardest times in our lives, this funeral home provided truly exceptional service. Every staff member treated our family with compassion, dignity, and deep respect. Steven was especially respectful and compassionate during the arrangement process. He took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made us feel supported every step of the way. His kindness and professionalism helped bring comfort during an incredibly difficult time. We are deeply grateful for the care shown to our family and would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone facing a loss.”

“If I could give Steven 10 stars I would! I've lost many family members over the years, all used different funeral homes which is a shame. This was a unique situation for me, and Steve went above and beyond anything I've ever heard of and experienced in this business, he was even available 24/7 and easy to get a hold of. He made what could've been a super stressful situation, into one stress free. Many thanks, I highly recommend Parcels Funeral to everyone. My husband and I will definitely use them for ourselves.”
— Betsy Lomis
