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.

“They took very good care of my great grandson and my family.”

“My family and I had a very pleasant experience with the staff of Charles Mackey Funeral Home. From the time the body was picked up until the Limo driver brought our family home from the funeral services EVERYONE was kind, considerate and compassionate. The mortician did an excellent job. My dad had been sick and lost a lot of weight, but he looked just like himself in the coffin. A very special THANKS to the staff!❤️”
— Cassandra Wheeler
“My family has used their services on three occasions, beginning with my father in 2004, my mother in 2016 and most recent my brother in June of this year. I have found the staff to be professional and caring. I have requested that my wife use them when I transition. We have been completely satisified. Leon Smith, Jr.”
