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.

“Ken at Koops in lake Odessa was the best. He is always so kind and compassionate. He returns any phone calls or texts, and is not in a rush to “sell” you something. He asks appropriate questions to help determine you needs/wants and helps to keep cost low. Would 10/10 recommend him for immediate unexpected needs as well as future planning.”
— Aimee Morehouse

And God bless you all.”
