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.

“Very disappointed in the treatment I have received from Old Mission Cemetery. For months now I have tried working with staff to restore and add to a family plot that has been in my family since the 1800s, and have had to pull teeth to get any kind of response. When I do get a response I am quoted outrages prices, and told that I cannot bring my own crew in to do the job. Ridiculous! Spend your money somewhere else.”
— Melody Bragg
“Ben made the whole experience easy - he fully explained the details, he was always responsive via email or phone if we had questions, and was great during the burial service”
— David Watkins
“These photos mostly look to be from the San Luis Cemetery across the street on. S. Higuera. They are not the Catholic Cemetery.”
