Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

“I Love Jefferson Funeral Home 💕 They are so Personal and Professional. When my Husband Passed in August 2019 Mr James Jefferson and his Staff we’re right there to comfort me and help me with arrangements they did nothing unless they made sure I was satisfied. They allowed me to hold the service at their chapel. Then in December2019 my son passed I had no money they arranged a payment plan with me and continued to serve me as a valued customer and handled my request as if I had paid in full Thank you 🙏🏿 So very much for you the Love ❤️ and Compassion You had for me during my Times of Bereavement!
