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.

“On 6/2/25 I was suddenly tasked with the loss of my partner of 26yrs. I knew of EWS Funeral Services as he serviced a relative in 2017. The level of professionalism and compassion received from everyone there really helped me and my family as I honestly didn’t know where to begin. I am so very grateful they were my first call. I received so many compliments on how everything was well for my partner which made me very pleased. God continue to bless as you service our community. Thanks Dana Phillips”
