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 at Houser-Millard are so kind and caring. Especially Jessica. We had to plan a funeral for our son and had no idea what to do. Jessica patiently walked us through the process and was available anytime a question arose. The service was small, intimate, and very private which reflected our wishes perfectly. I highly recommend using Houser-Millard for all your funeral needs.”
— Patricia Jansen
“We worked with Jessica and from the time we arrived to make arrangements for my father with my mom and sister to the gravesite service. Everything and everyone we encountered was definitely five stars! We had the best experience even though we had lost a loved one. Jessica was wonderful helping my mother with all the things she would need help with such as notifying social security, life insurance, VA, death certificates, etc. We all highly rate and appreciate Houser-Millard Funeral Home and would recommend to others. Thanks again for everything!”
— Lori Brewer
“I want to say that my family and I had a wonderful experience with Houser Millard Funeral Home. They were so friendly to my family and I when we went to first make arrangements with my mom. They answered all of our questions and very patient with all of us. Then when we had to call when my mother passed away they were very caring and sympathetic with us giving time to be with her before they took her to the funeral home. When we had to finalize everything again so caring. The day of the funeral they surprised us with the urn that my mother had originally picked out.They made us feel like we were part of their family. I can’t stress enough how compassionate,sympathetic and wonderful this funeral home was. Jeannette C Cizmar Thanks for being so caring for our loss.”
