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.

— Shelley Harlukowicz
“Zero stars. This place misplaced our dear mother’s ashes and gave us someone else’s ashes in place, which we eventually found out from the other mom’s family looking for her missing ashes. It was a nightmare and still haunts me. The ashes had to be exhumed from the grave beside my father. Such a hard thing to go through at a tragic time.”
— Robin White
“On a day riddled with such heavy and overwhelming emotions, the staff at Charles R. Step Funeral Home brought a sense of ease and comfort when we needed it most. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed—from the floral arrangements to gathering every available chair to ensure as many guests as possible could be seated. We are very grateful for their support and compassion. The care they showed made an incredibly difficult day a little more bearable, and we truly can’t thank them enough!”
