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.

“When my mom passed, we thought we had everything figured out, but there is always something that comes up that you hadn’t given much consideration to. The Cremation Society of the Carolinas was a step ahead of us, providing great direction and helpful options during a very difficult time. They maintained a compassionate and understanding approach, recognizing what my family and I were going through. Their support and guidance made the process much easier, and we truly appreciate the care they showed us.”
— Victoria Pablos
“My husband and I purchased our future cremation plans with Cremation Society of the Carolinas years ago, so it wouldn't be an issue for the family to deal with later. My husband passed in January 2026, and the process couldn't have gone any easier, with the staff being so compassionate and helpful. Every detail was handled efficiently and quickly, and their communications were prompt and friendly. I'm so glad we went with Cremation Society of the Carolinas to handle our final affairs.”
— Susan Madenspacher
“Very professional, yet thoughtful and respectfully communicative. Was pleased with how they accommodated my brother’s Buddhist philosophy for a chanting service during the time of cremation. The Society did a wonderful job with my mother in 2023 and they were my first and only call for help with my brother here in 2026. Thanks!”
