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.

“The staff here was super friendly and helpful. They did a wonderful job with designing exactly what we wanted. The artists implemented the design perfectly on the stone. We really could not be happier with the service. We did shop around to several other places before stopping at Pechmann Memorials. Pechmann had better pricing and much better customer service than any other place we shopped.”

“Jenna + James were such a blessing as we considered how to move forward on a headstone decision. Jenna spent a considerable amount of time with us when we were at her location, and she even took the time to list out prices for my friend's possible choices. There was no pressure to use their company or make a fast decision. They were also fast with follow-up and super kind and professional. Thank you for being such a blessing to my friend and me.”

“We used them for a memorial stone for our dog and couldn’t be happier. The stone is absolutely perfect! Jenna was so caring and friendly throughout the process. She listened to my hopes for the stone and made it happen. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!”
