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.

“Matt Markieswicz and his staff did a great job. They were very accommodating with a high focus on the details. We couldn’t hope for a better place to honor our Dad. I would highly recommend Markiewicz Funeral Home. John Lapp”

“My father-in-law passed away. Durning such a horrible time, this place did make the arrangements a lot easier on you. We delt with Robert. What a wonderful person. During the wake, we ending up staying almost 2 hours after closing. He never once implied or mentioned anything (about when we'd be leaving) even though I know his wife was calling expecting him to be home. Robert just wanted us to take our time. Afterwards, he told my family about the healing steps for grieving. He also extened an ear if we wanted to talk. Everything was beyond my expectations. For such an awful time...this place did make it easier on you.”
