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.

“Jeff and Kim were amazing to work with from the beginning. They took their time with us and answered all of our questions. They also helped us every step of the way on how the service will be held and what they would need from us. They sent us a link where to load pictures onto. It was so easy. We had so many compliments on the video and the music. My daughter decided that she would like to sing during the service. Kim got the music and even offered for her to come the day before to practice. Jeff and Mike worked on the sound system to make sure that the music and microphone were right for her. The day of the service the chapel looked amazing. All the staff was dressed in suits with ties which had red, white and blue in them. It was a retired military funeral. They were so willing to help with anything and everything we needed. Kim also checked on the family often throughout the visitation. Even after the service was done everyone was so willing to help with anything! We appreciate you all and what you have done for us and our family. We are forever grateful! Thank you again. The Beane Family”

“Slate came highly recommended from a good friend. (And now I know why). I gave them a “Five Star” rating only because there was not a “Ten Star” option. My mother passed away in December 06, 2020. I called and met with Jeff Walker who was very compassionate and helpful. He listened to what my Mother’s burial wishes were and did not try to play on our sympathy during this sad time. Mr. Walker was very honest and instrumental in finalizing every detail of the funeral. I was so impressed with the professional way Mr Walker and his staff were, I went ahead and prepaid for my father’s funeral arrangements. That way, when the Our Heavenly Father calls my Dad to join my Mom, that part will be taken care of. Thanks to Jeff and the rest of the staff for being there in our time of need!”

“The people working at Slate's, are all helpful and compassionate. They showed so much loving care. And listened to everything we had to say, was very soft spoken every time I stopped by. They were very helpful when my mother passed away and when many movers if my in-laws passed away over the years. There are times when they are busy with another family or in meeting and can't take a call. I understand that. But any time I stopped by there, someone came to speak to you. Five star.”
