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.

“All staff members of Ziegenhein were very cordial and compassionate. I would like to extend my thanks to Mr. Sontez Williams for helping my mother and I prearrange my mother's funeral, and Ms. Ashley Cothrem for your care and guidance in finalizing my mother's arrangements. The inner peace that you carry, gave my husband and I the strength to carry-on during this difficult time. Thank you again, Robert and Marita Hollander”

“Ziegenhein helped our family to send my grandmother off with the highest dignity. My family's celebration of life is a little different from what they are probably used to due to our culture, but the respect they showed us was absolutely idealistic. I would recommend them to anyone who is unsure of who to work with to send off their loved ones. They were all so kind and diligent, making sure we were well taken care of during our time of grief while also giving us the space to mourn in peace. I am so grateful we worked with such an amazing end of life team. Thank you.”
