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.

“JJ and Anselmo made the process of cremation easy for our family. JJ spent a lot of time speaking with us and explained the different steps involved in getting our loved one cremated. They were both very caring during a difficult time and made our family feel important. I would highly recommend them to anyone due to their compassion, honesty, and up-front pricing/value.”

“Today we buried my uncle, and Simple Cremation and Services were in charge of the arrangements. We have never used their services before. My uncle was disabled and sort of a recluse. He had been in a nursing home for awhile. Gerald and JayJay were great from the start. It was if we were being helped by friends that truly cared and looked at their jobs as a ministry to families. Although they didn't know my uncle, they were prepared with scripture, a few words, and prayers. They handled the service, the burial, and will be having someone come to enter the date of death on his tombstone. They were very professional and kind, saying "it was our honor to serve." We could not have asked for a better outcome. I would highly recommend.”

“Can't rave enough about how great this place is, Gerald has THE funeral director voice and will put you immediately at ease. I'm working with them now, and have ZERO regrets. I chose them after doing my research so hopefully my work in shopping around will help you too. Keep it up guys, I'm definitely sending some thank you cards your way!”
