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.

“I can’t thank Maher Staff enough for the wonderful wake and funeral for my Mother-in-law! Eric, Josh, and Jan are so professional and supportive! Maher used to be the old Tinley Park Library and its mid-century look inside and out is something to see. Also their pricing is good. If you have a loved one who was in the service, you can tell that they are very service oriented. Also, we had paid for her funeral years before and we did not have one problem with them honoring her wishes.”
