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.

“I can't express enough how impressed I am with the exceptional staff and beautiful facility at Kalas Funeral Home and Crematory in Oxon Hill, MD. During a difficult time, George Kalas and his compassionate, professional team provide the support and care that truly make a difference. Their staff goes above and beyond to help families celebrate their loved ones, and they've recently updated their decor which is really lovely. Their commitment to the community is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend this funeral home above all others. 5 Stars!”
— Michele Reiter
“Their gentleness and care through every step of the hardest days of my life will never be forgotten. Kalas Funeral Home took such good care of my family, especially my mom, who put to rest her husband of 55 years. Everything was straight forward, they answered our many questions, provided us with so much undisturbed time with our father so we could say our goodbyes. They added sweet little touches and showed us so much grace. I am so thankful that they take their job so seriously and professionally. Thank you again.”
— Christin Newman
“When you are going through the hardest moment of your life you need a funeral home you can 100% trust and will take care of every little detail to perfection - please look no further than Kalas. I have now gone through two funerals with them, the second being today. The staff - particularly Valerie - is absolutely incredible. If you dont believe me or need any further validation I encourage you to actually go ahead and call the various cemetaries in the region. Ask them who they believe is the "best" funeral company to use. They will all say Kalas, with the one we utilized saying "Kalas by a far margin and not even a question". Anyone in NOVA, DC, or MD should be utilizing them - a true hidden treasure in our region. And trust me, I am typically very harsh in my reviews (take a look at them) but when I come across a top notch business I will proudly promote them.”
