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.

“Danbury Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Services handled both my father’s services in 2023 and now my mother’s services, and I truly cannot say enough about the care and compassion they have shown our family. Losing one parent is devastating. Losing both within a short period of time is something I never imagined navigating — yet Junior, Kristen, and the entire team made each experience feel supported, dignified, and deeply respectful. They guided me through every step with patience, kindness, and professionalism. During moments when I felt overwhelmed, they were calm, organized, and incredibly compassionate. When my mom passed recently, they once again treated her — and us — with such gentleness and honor. Everything was handled beautifully. The services for both of my parents were meaningful, peaceful, and exactly what we hoped for. They never made us feel rushed. They answered every question. They anticipated needs before we even had to ask. Junior and Kristen, thank you for your warmth, your sensitivity, and your genuine care. In the hardest moments of our lives, you helped carry us through with grace. I am deeply grateful to Danbury Memorial for honoring both my Mom and Dad with such dignity. I would highly recommend them to any family needing compassionate and professional funeral services.”

Their patience, empathy, and genuine concern meant more to us than words can express. During a difficult time, they made us feel supported and cared for every step of the way. We will always be thankful for their dedication and compassion.”
