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.

“I received a call from Veresca regarding my VA Burial and Memorial Benefits. At first I was little hesitant because I was not thinking of planning my burial at this time. But after meeting with Veresca at Lakeshore Memorial I must say I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was talking to Veresca about planning the service. She explain to all my benefits and how they work. Also how my wife would not have to worry about taking care of all these activities they would handle everything. I don't think anyone like to think of planning their burial but knowing my family will be taken care was absolutely the right thing to do. Thank you Lakeshore Memorial and Veresca for making this process easy and heartfelt.”

“The people at Lakeshore Memorial were extremely kind and compassionate. Everything was done quietly and professionally. The one thing that was a disappointment was that when they asked us to send in an obituary, it was only three days after my husband’s death, and writing it was difficult. The told me that they would edit it, but they didn’t. So the typos I found later embarrassed me. I wish someone has followed through and done the editing. One nice thing they did was to make bookmarks for us with my husband’s picture. We appreciated those!”

“Jason assisted my family with the funerals for both my mother and father. He did a superb job on preparing the bodies for the memorial service and he along with the entire staff were a delight to work with, especially with the special requirements we had with respect to the unique service we wanted to present. A+ people to work with.”
