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.

“After my father's death I contacted this funeral home, Gary and his wife were so nice and so helpful throughout my time of my father's death. They really took care of my father's body, They're both hardworking Gary and his wife, communicating with me and discussing plans that would make it easier throughout the process. I HIGHLY recommend him and his funeral home if you need help after a loved one pass away. He would always communicate with you smoothly and would take about prices that would help you become affordable. Even though we had an hour of viewing he gave us alot of time more than an hour to see my father one last time. I want to thank him and his wife for doing all the work.”

“We are so grateful to Gary and the entire staff for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed our family during such a difficult time. Every detail was handled with dignity and respect, and we truly felt supported throughout the entire process. Their kindness, patience, and attention to detail made an overwhelming experience much easier to navigate. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our loved one. Thank you for going above and beyond when it mattered most.”

“Gary and his employees are very friendly. I lost my daughter last yr 8-14-24 and Gary was so helpful with everything and he explained everything to me so I would understand we cremated her and this year 10-1-25 we lost my dad and we went to Gary again to cremate my dad. There were two other times we used Gary too. If you ever a loved one pass Gary Sylvat is the guy to go too”
