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’m flabbergasted by any negative review on here because we used this company very recently for our mother and received nothing but kindness and professionalism from the moment they picked up her body at home till the moment I picked up her death certificates. Dominic was unbelievably patient with our 3-ring-circus, kind, to the point and gave the perfect amount of condolences right upfront. If I could give extra stars for taking on dealing with our nasty estranged, brother, I would. They even gave us a nice bag to carry her away in, something from the heart and not bought in bulk on the internet.”

“Having to use their services was the hardest day of my life! My son was killed in an accident and they were one of the vendors suggested by the hospital. They were prompt, professional and patient with me. Unfortunately. I know I will need their services again and won’t hesitate to call.”
