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.

“My brother passed away this year and Ms Darolyn Fox was in charge of his service. She was truly the biggest blessing in the most tragic time for my family. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through such a difficult time. She was patient, extremely helpful with everything, and gave us a much needed comfort for what we were going through. The service for my brother was beautiful, she really made sure to help us honor him in the best way possible. There were many working hands in this process and the whole staff in general did an amazing job as well. I can’t imagine the strength it takes to do this job, but she does it with grace and you can tell she’s someone who genuinely cares. I will never forget her and will always be so thankful she was there to help us through this journey.”

Our family worked closely with Darolyn Fox, who took the time and care to guide us through every step of the process with gentleness and compassion. Despite our grief, Darolyn brought smiles and warm-hearted laughter to our experience. We cannot express our gratitude enough! With heartfelt thanks,”

“We chose Wilson and Kratzer Mortuary to care for my mom, the Matriarch of our family, who recently transitioned. They'd provided services years prior for another family member, and were highly recommended. Thank you to Sylvester and the entire staff for showing our family great compassion, care, and understanding during this most emotional and difficult time. Highly recommended. Houston S”
