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 highly recommend this funeral home and absolutely without a doubt ask for Rhea. During the most painful part of our lives we decided to go with bakers. Here I met one of the most beautiful souls named Rhea. Not only did she help us with every step of the way patiently and willingly her demeanor and sympathy helped us deeply with our grieving. She was so compassionate and comforting it changed our whole world. After all her help and compassion she will be apart of our lives forever. Thank you so much Rhea…..I can never thank you enough for your kind words and the loved you showed our family. It was so painful for me but your kind words of wisdom and compassion gave me the strength I needed. A true gift from god……forever grateful❤️❤️❤️❤️”
