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.

“When we went to order the tombstone for our daughter and ourselves, we were immediately pleased with the people who helped us. They were kind, patient and very professional. We knew we were in good hands. It is very emotional to choose a stone for your child. But the staff at Birkmeier made it a positive experience. When we went to view the actual tombstone at the cemetery, we couldn’t have been happier. It was exactly what we wanted. Birkmeier made a challenging situation a great moment. We would definitely encourage others to use this amazing business.”

“Our monument for our parents was done by Birkmeier. It is a beautiful stone. We were impressed by both the professionalism and caring by everyone there. Any question we had was addressed promptly. We had renderings of the stone the following to review. They also called us immediately when the stone was set. Highly recommend.”
