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 want to thank Garden Oaks Funeral Home for everything they did for our son’s cremation and memorial. They took care of every detail during the worst time of our lives. Clayton and Francisco were so compassionate and kind, and the little touches they added for our son meant more than I can ever say. Their care made a painful process a little easier, and we’re truly grateful.”

“We were not prepared to my mothers passing. We were not even prepare for anything at all regarding her funeral, remains, etc. Claude, William, Melania and other people involved in this process were able to make it very clear and easy to do. We had my mother cremated, we arranged for a Catholic mass, and we have already sent my mother over to Venezuela. This Funeral Home and the people involved, who I mentioned above, made these possible. I really want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts. God bless them all. Rolando Gabarron and family.”
— Rolando Gaba
“Dignity Memorial was so helpful during our difficult time of having to lay my mother to rest. They went above and beyond to make it a beautiful remembrance of her. Even the experience of picking up her ashes was made into a special event and I was truly touched by everyone there and by everything they did to ensure that we were at ease!”
