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.

“My spectacular wife passed recently and I was recommend to Cremate Simply by her wonderful hospice nurse, Olivia Have to say, given the absolutely most challenging moment of my life…CS made the situation as stressful free as could possibly be, in particular Mr. Scott Keen! Mr, Keen is who I interacted with from the very beginning to the end when I went to their facility to collect Skye’s ashes. Scott took great care of EVERY detail, answered any all questions I had…I called him MULTIPLE times in my disarray over the weeks and he was always compassionate, sincere and on point to answer any and all of my questions and concerns; he was/is truly there for me. 10 stars”

“Everyone I spoke with was absolutely amazing. But I have to really brag on Meegan. The day I picked my dad's ashes up and his veterans flag Meegan stayed late because my work truck had broke down. I felt awful but she reassured me that it was ok, and that she wasn't upset at all. She was very sweet about the whole situation and I'm grateful for that. Very please with everyone there.”
