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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“These are just the nicest, most thoughtful people in the world. I can't say enough good things about them. My wife had a very complicated funeral because we lived in New Haven but she had to be buried in Indiana so we had to have memorial services in both Connecticut and Indiana. Everything went perfectly. She had a plan with these fine people which she had prepaid faithfully before she died and all the money was there, there were no surprise charges and there were just no problems at all. And 2 years later, I call them to ask about her death certificate, give them just my first name, and they remember me after all this time! Wonderful service, great attitude and very efficient.”
