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.

“From the moment I entrusted Frank to the care of Egelhof, Siegert & Casper Funeral Home, they treated him with a level of dignity, gentleness, and respect that brought real comfort me. Every step of the process was handled with quiet professionalism and genuine compassion. They understood that Frank was not just someone who had passed — he was a man who had lived, loved, and mattered deeply. The staff, especially Call, guided me through decisions with patience, never rushing and always listening. They honored Frank’s service, his character, and the life he built. Prior to Frank’s passing their support made it clear that he would be in the hands of people who truly cared. In a time of grief, when everything felt heavy and uncertain, they created a sense of calm and steadiness. Their kindness made an unbearable moment a little more bearable. For that, I am deeply grateful. Frank deserved dignity, respect, and tenderness — and that is exactly what he received. Thank you.”
