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.

“Parents, relatives, friends from high school n college n many others that we know buried at Vahalla. Very well kept cemetary grounds. One of us family members takes turns taking the old flowers off and putting new ones on our famalies graves about every 6 months, not counting special occasions, birthdays, Christmas, etc. Everything is kept up nicely n if u had a problem the manager will take care of it. Pleased with the cemetary upkeep. Thank you to the owners!!!”

“Over the last several years, I have been to a few funerals here. Within the last month, I lost both of my grandparents and the service and burial was here. Very pleased with everything and my grandparents looked very nice!! Staff was very accommodating as well!! Thank you guys for the endless support!!”

“I would NEVER under any circumstances recommend this place. Three months after the funeral, and the gravesite is still not fixed properly. We were told the "date of death" would be on the headstone within 2 weeks.....3 months later....Not only is the "date of death" not there...the headstone hasn't been put back in place!!!! This is absolutely unacceptable!!!!!!!!!! The only reason they got 1 star is because they didn't have anything lower.”
