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.

“PCS crematory in Alamogordo NM has a fantastic staff. I was devastated over my husbands death in March. Donna was wonderful in helping me have a smooth transition with the paperwork.She was kind and so helpful. I would recommend PCS to anyone who needs cremation services. The death certificates were done in a timely manner manner and l was so appreciative for her kindness and compassion through this process. I also asked her how I could take care of setting up my own cremation so my family won’t be burdened with it when my time comes. She referred me to the person I needed to contact. I’m so appreciative of the service I received”

“The staff was so amazing. This is a difficult time for any family to go through, Donna was so helpful and gracious. She had everything ready when we got to the office and walked us through every step. It’s been over a month now since losing our mom, yet Donna and Elizabeth still reach out to check on how I’m doing. I give PCS five thousand stars for all of the compassionate care, not only for my mom, but of the whole family during this journey.”
