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.

“Our experience from end to end was perfect. Hanah, the Funeral Director was helpful during the entire process keeping us informed via texts and emails - her assistant was great as well. I had to set up the Visitation Room by myself, so having Kathy there to help me position photos, icons and flowers was invaluable - the room was warm and inviting. Rich and Billy provided a loving, supportive and empathetic presence during each service. Thank you Chris and team for all you did to make a difficult situation as easy as possible for the family!”

They have given our family the highest level of support, empathy and respect. It’s not just them doing a job but who that are as people. Their staff and facility provided everything needed on a day so important to our family. We were so grateful for that. Some of the kindest and genuine people I’ve ever met. They have proven there are still good people in this world and I am so thankful! Thank you Anna,Kyle and Hanna. May God continue to bless you all!!!”
