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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Springfield Mortuary Services made a very difficult day so much easier on our family. It only took a quick call and they pick my fathers remains up from the hospital, dressed him and make him looks so at peace. Thankful for the last views of my father to be such peaceful ones thanks to their hard work. Prices were very affordable. They also filled my urns for me after the fact and answered every question I had. I hope to not need them anytime soon but if I do I will be returning here.”

“Collected my family member from more than an hour away without extra fees. Doesn't provide space for services like funeral parlors/homes but does a wonderful job of planning and helping complete final plans. Cremation service was very well priced and cost less than $1,000. No up sells or shifty sales. They definitely made a difficult unexpected time easier.”
— WinterWind Wolfe
