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.

“It could not have been better. I believe his name was Aaron, and he was professional and thorough but also had a great sense of humor that my Mom Delores would've loved. Even at age 91, I'm positive that she would have flirted or gave him a hard time. We had every question answered. I had a life size cardboard cutout of her & some folks took pics with her. They were totally ok with this & complimented us for a great idea. Highly recommend this funeral home. Y'all should be proud of yourselves!”

“Oof. Terrible experience. $11,000 for my MIL's funeral service, which did not have a visitation and no burial. Watch out for the extra charges. Unprofessional staff. We handled most of the details anyway. There must be better options out there for funeral homes.”
— Christopher Martin
“I chose Anderson Funeral Home for my mothers funeral just 30 days ago, The entire staff was amazing to deal with, I had never lost a parent before so this was my first time in this situation and it was amazing to me how Tim Anderson was there on time, prepared and very professional, caring and no pressure. He walked myself and my brother through everything and made it so comfortable. He greeted us for visitation and my mother was BEAUTIFUL!! The staff did a perfect job from hair to the flowers, in which Tim recommended from their florist. He also arranged the transport to Iowa for another visitation and funeral. Tim's service and caring professionalism has rendered him a life long friend to me and my family. This truly was the best gift I could have ever given to my Mother! Thank you Tim and to all of your staff for helping me and my family through this difficult time. God Bless.”
