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.

“Our family entrusted Kings Funeral Home with my uncle’s homegoing, and they exceeded our expectations in every way. Every detail was handled with care, respect, and dignity. They made a painful time a little easier by ensuring the service felt personal and heartfelt. The extra effort they put into honoring him properly, especially with his military honors, meant more to us than words can express. We are forever thankful for the love and professionalism shown to our family.”
