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.

“Simple Choice Cremation was incredible to my family during the sudden death of our mother while she was out of town, visiting Chambersburg. They went above and beyond to bring us comfort and peace, while making her arrangements stress-free. Erika was on top of everything, even though my mother passed the day before Thanksgiving. They quickly took care of my mother’s remains and left me feeling reassured while they handled everything for me. My mother’s cremains were mailed to me very quickly and with such care. I truly felt that they had treated us as they would their own family members. Their prices are very reasonable, as well! I can’t find enough words to express how grateful we are for Simple Choice Cremation and HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you Simple Choice and Erika!”
