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.

“01/06/23 was such a disappointing moment for my family with Davis Monument. On 01/06/22 I sat down with Mrs. Davis to inquiry about ordering a headstone for my loved one. I was informed that it would take one year to get her headstone, and 1/2 of the total would need to be put down immediately. The deposit was made and the headstone ordered. I was told that they would be reaching out and following up during the process and that never happened. I always reached out to Davis Monument and that was the only time communication occurred. The disheartening part was none of the updates were correct and the headstone not be being delivered was suddenly my fault. I called to pay the balance on the headstone at least 1.5 months before the delivery date and was told the payment would not be taken until the headstone was delivered. That was strange to me but I just said well if that’s their policy. Long story short my mothers headstone was never delivered and they stated it was a misunderstanding with a nonchalant attitude with no sympathy. No attempts to make it right or resolve the situation any faster than — weeks. This is unacceptable and not good business. I requested a refund and would never do business with her ever again. If her prices aren’t 40% cheaper I would not recommend them for any reason. Even with the discount just remember you get what you pay for. Stay away from this company and Ms. Davis.”
