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.

“Working with Milo and his team made everything so much easier. They transported my sister quickly, faster than I expected. They kept me informed each step of the way. I will never forget the words, “She is in our care.” From there I could relax somewhat, knowing she was not alone. Vivian and Milo were professional, attentive, communicative, and supportive - organized. I appreciate you more than you can imagine. You made a tough time easier and I will never forget it. Thank you 🤲🏽”

“From the moment I contacting Caring Creation they eased my mind with their knowledge, kindness and quiet mannerisms. Everyone was respectful and gently helping the process move smoothly. Vivian’s attention to details made it a little easier to say, “Goodbye my Love”, to my husband. I know we chose the perfect Funeral Home co. and when asked where we went for this process, I Will say, without hesitation, Caring Cremations! Enclosed is a photo of the Beautiful Urn I chose for my husband. With Deepest Appreciation, Cathy G.”

“Milos and Vivian were wonderfully supportive and responsive in helping me with arrangements. We are fortunate in Illinois to have a choice of a water cremation, if desired, and all communications with Caring Cremations was very clear, and the service was handled efficiently. There was no sales pressure to add on items as my family had plans for urns and interments already. They deserve their high ratings.”
