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.

“Hilliard funeral home handled my mother's cremation after she passed at Mother Frances in Tyler. The staff were so calm and pleasant and compassionate. They didn't mind when I called with questions I forgot to ask or when I needed help with the forms. They made a very difficult life event less stressful. When I was nervous about carrying the urn to my car because of nerves, a worker didn't hesitate at all to offer to walk it to my car for me. Their staff was wonderful and care was genuine. They also had very reasonable costs.”

“My father passed away a week ago. My brother and I had to drive out here from New Orleans and have been to so many funeral homes cause they were all charging to much money. And then we thought we find one that was reasonable just to be mislead and they came up with so many other things for charging double after driving an hour and half away I was more than disappointed and determined to find a place that did not. play games. And my husband found this place. Let me tell everyone they were the most nicest sincere beautiful family you could meet. It was important for me to write this so people who lost someone could hopefully when trying to decide what place to go to and not be mislead or played on at your weakest moment know this is the place you want to go to.”
